PPAT Prep: Tasks & Practice

The PPAT (Praxis Performance Assessment for Teachers) is a performance-based licensure assessment from ETS, used by many states alongside or in place of subject-area Praxis tests. Candidates submit four portfolio tasks across a clinical placement. Here's how it works — with realistic COSMIQ practice.

COSMIQ helps you prepare for the PPAT — it does not administer the assessment or issue a teaching license.
