Does the Praxis exam in Audiology assess the knowledge and
skills of candidates who pursued a master's degree or a doctoral
degree?
The Praxis Audiology exam is developed according to the basic
tenet that exam items for a credentialing exam assess the
knowledge and skills required to perform the job in the context
of current practice. The blueprint for the exam is derived from
the knowledge and skills generated from the practice and
curriculum analysis that resulted in the establishment of the
doctoral entry degree requirement for the profession of
audiology. |
