Hi,
I moved from NY two years ago and had to take the Praxis. I
also needed to get letters from previous employers verifying my
experience, letters from the Universities I went to, college
transcripts, application etc.. My advice to you is call the PA
ed dept, or go on their website and start the process
immediately. It took me a few months to get it all together and
then they took about three months for them to actually send me
my certification after I had everything in! I also had a
permanent certification, but in Special Ed and Elementary Ed.
Good Luck!
