TExES CAT Tests Offered

TExES CAT tests are administered separately from the TExES PBT tests at specially equipped test centers. Most CAT tests are offered on a continuous basis while others are offered only during limited-administration windows. Almost all of the TExES CAT tests consist entirely of multiple-choice questions. However, some limited-administration tests also contain a constructed-response section with questions that require you to produce a response that is either written, typed or spoken. In 2012-13, the following tests will be offered as CAT tests.
