TExES Combined and Component Tests

Certain combined TExES tests cannot be taken in conjunction with their TExES component tests. You should take either the component test or the combined test. The combined tests are listed in the table below. Combined tests contain portions that overlap with their respective component tests. In many cases, the certificates gained through passing these tests will also overlap. If you are enrolled in an EPP, consult the advisor, director or certification officer at your program for further information on which test(s) you should take.

More information about the tests, including the test frameworks, test question formats and study resources is available in the preparation manual for each test. All test sessions are five hours long.
