About Us
TExEStest.org is a valuable resource for current and prospective educators seeking credentials in the state of Texas! Here, you'll find what you need as you prepare for the Texas Examination of Educator Standards (TExES), the exam series for state licensure.
We know these high-stakes exams can feel intimidating and stressful, so we've made it our mission to build and curate the best study materials and planning tools possible. Everything you'll need to help you prepare efficiently, gain confidence, and pass your exams.
While the phrase 'Everything's bigger in Texas' may be cliche, it does apply to the number of students and schools in our state. As of 2013, Texas had 5,077,659 students enrolled in a total of 8,731 public schools across 1,254 districts--that's the second-highest total number of schools in the country, and we've only grown since then! Given this huge population of students and teachers, it's no wonder that Texas places such a high priority on teacher preparation and credentialing.
Our experts at TExESTest.org have created efficient and engaging teacher test prep materials to help you demonstrate proficiency in the content knowledge and pedagogical skills critical to success in the classroom. Our materials include certification requirements, study guides, practice tests, information about registration and fees, and more! We know utilizing our materials and tools works because more than 92% of students who use TExESTest.org materials pass their teacher certification exams.
These highly effective tools and resources are created by us here at TExEStest.org. We're the experts in both the subject matter and the credentialing exam process. Though we come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, we share a common goal to research, organize, create, and review the absolute best TExES information and the most efficient and effective preparation materials.
We are committed to empowering our fellow educators so they can overcome any obstacle on the path to reach their students. Read on to learn a little more about us!
