TExES Information and Resources

Before you complete Phase II or Block 2, you need to have completed 3 hours of TExES Preparation coursework.  This is a Texas Administration Code requirement--it is NOT a UT Tyler requirement.

We have face-to-face options available to you and online options (online course).

Face to Face Options:

  • Saturday, June 22 from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. in BEP 218
  • Monday, July 1 from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. in BEP 232
  • Saturday, August 17 from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. in BEP 218

Students are required to take 6 hours of TExES Preparation (PPR and/or Content.) A record of attendance will be kept for each face-to-face session.  Students do not have to attend the entire session if they have prior T-CERT Module hours (each module is 4.5 hours.)   Report promptly at the beginning of the session and sign the attendance log provided.

Your signature is confirmation of your attendance at the session.

Watch your Patriot email and the SOE Facebook page for announcements.

Sign up to participate in the online options through T-CERT

Practice TExES Exams at UT Tyler

The practice TExES exam is for all currently enrolled Phase III/Block 3 or Phase IV/Block 4 students. There are two practice tests offered on each exam date: the EC-12 PPR (Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities) and the EC-6 Generalist for EC-6 certification students only. You may only take one test on each exam date.

You must register for the exam by submitting a registration form to The Office of Teacher Certification, BEP 247H by 5 pm, the Tuesday prior to the exam date.  Questions may be directed to Cynthia Harris.

The Practice TExES registration form is available as an attachment (See Practice TExES Information) in the Documents Tab of the Blackboard Organization:  Education_Certification Information.  Watch your Patriot email and the SOE Facebook page for announcements.  If you are not currently enrolled in this blackboard organization, please enroll.   For technical assistance, contact itsupport@patriots.uttyler.edu.

A $10 exam fee must be paid to the UT Tyler Cashier if you have not taken a Practice TExES previously.  You pay this one-time fee and submit the receipt to the Office of Teacher Certification along with the registration form .  Students may take the practice test as many times as you wish at no additional charge.
