PRAXIS® and ASHA Certified Assistant Exams Transitioning to PSI in 2027
Beginning in January 2027, the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology PRAXIS® examinations, as well as the Audiology Assistant and Speech-Language Pathology Assistant certification examinations, will transition to PSI, a subsidiary of the Educational Testing Service (ETS).
Although the examinations are transferring to PSI, the exam content, structure, passing scores, etc. will remain the same. In addition, the ETS Data Manager will continue to support the verification of test results. We expect the transition to have minimal impact on candidates, academic programs, state licensure boards, and other constituents.
Key dates:
- November 3, 2026: Registration and scheduling will open for examinations through PSI.
- December 31, 2026: Final day examinations are available through ETS (PRAXIS®) and Prometric (exams for ASHA Certified Assistants).
- January 11, 2027: Candidates can take their examinations at PSI test centers and through its online testing platform.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. For more information, please visit ASHA’s website. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact exams@asha.org.
This is a license renewal year for Audiology and Speech Pathology licenses.
The renewal period will open on October 21, 2026.
