Physical Education EC-12 (258) Scoring Information

The TExES Physical Education EC–12 exam uses a scaled score ranging from 100 to 300, with a minimum passing score of 240 required for certification in Texas. Your final score is based only on scored questions; some items are embedded for future test development and do not affect your results.

After completing your exam, score reports become available online according to the official TExES score reporting schedule. Candidates can access their results through their educator certification account.

Although the Texas Education Agency (TEA) does not publish official statewide pass rates for every certification exam, educator preparation programs consistently report that candidates who combine official preparation manuals with realistic practice exams tend to perform significantly better than those relying solely on textbook study.
