TExES Exam Registration

Current students must meet all four criteria in order to sit for the TExES, ExCET, or the TOPT exams:

  • I am actively pursuing my certification at UNT.
  • I have been admitted to teacher education.
  • I am enrolled at UNT this semester.
  • I am aware of my program's recommendation on when I should take my exam(s).
Former students who have completed their certification programs/tracks should contact our office for instructions on how to register for the TExES exams.

Registering for your TExES/ExCET, TExMAT, TOPT, or BTLPT exams:
  • Visit the State Board for Educator Certification's website to create or log into your educator account. 
  • You will need to get your Texas Education Agency (TEA) ID number from your educator account.
  • Go to the ETS website at http://www.texes.ets.org to register for your exams. You will need to set up an account if this is your first visit to the website.
  • Note - During the registration process, you will only see the exam(s) that you have been approved for by UNT. Some exams are offered as paper-based tests (PBTs) and computer-administered tests (CATs). You will need to select either the PBT option or the CAT option. If you have any questions about the exams, please contact the TExES Advising Office.
  • Check the ETS website for instructions on printing your admission ticket(s) and what you will need to know on the day of the test.
  • Read the registration bulletin found on the ETS website for more information on: test cell phone policies, ID requirements, what to bring during the test, and arrival time.
