Welcome to the TAMUCC Texas Examinations of Educator Standards (TExES) website. This site has information about state educator certification testing. There are also many helpful links for you.

You must have been admitted to Teacher Education before taking your certification exams. Contact 825-3074 for information.

For the August 2nd paper based test administration, ETS will have their Repeat Registration Policy in place since scores from the June 21st test will not be released until July 11th. Do not request via TAR to re-test until you know your score. ETS should refund any additional fees if you are re-testing. Visit the ETS website for information. (www.texes.ets.org)

The cost of all TExES PBT exams will increase to $120 beginning August 11, 2008. CATs will increase on September 1, 2008. There will no longer be a computer use fee for CATs. Late and Emergency registration fees also increase by $5.00 each.

When you are ready to test, you must submit your request via our TExES Approval/Request (TAR) System. If you requested to test and were approved but did not test, your approval should still be available. Check the ETS website and if the test you wish to take shows, you may register without re-submitting a request through TAR. See Steps for Registering on the left.

TAR shuts down at noon on the day before the regular registration deadline to process all existing requests. Submitting your request late will cause you to incur additional testing fees.

TAR does not operate during most holidays or Spring Break. Some request to test deadlines may differ from ETS regular registration deadlines.

TAMUCC wishes you the best of luck on your certification exams!
