About this exam
The Praxis School Leaders Licensure Assessment (6011) evaluates whether candidates have the knowledge and judgment needed for school leadership. It is commonly taken by aspiring principals and other school administrators, including experienced teachers moving from classroom roles into leadership. States may use the assessment as one part of their administrator licensure requirements, but requirements differ: passing the Praxis alone does not grant a license or guarantee admission to a preparation program. Check your state education agency for the current eligibility rules and required assessment.
The 6011 covers strategic, instructional, and organizational leadership, along with school-community relationships and professional responsibilities. Candidates should be ready to analyze school situations, use evidence to guide decisions, and connect leadership actions to student learning. The assessment includes selected-response questions and constructed-response tasks, so preparation should build both content knowledge and clear written reasoning. Review strategic planning and school improvement, effective teaching, curriculum alignment, and student assessment and data use; consult the current ETS study materials for the official blueprint and test-day details.
