Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TExES Core Subjects EC-6 (391) exam?
The TExES Core Subjects is the mandatory certification exam for individuals who wish to teach elementary school (Early Childhood through Grade 6) in Texas public schools. It assesses whether a candidate has the requisite knowledge to teach a broad range of subjects at the elementary level.
What is the difference between the TExES 291 and the TExES 391?
The TExES 391 replaced the older 291 exam. The TExES 391 version updated the content to align with current Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and removed the "Fine Arts, Health, and Physical Education" section from the English subtest, making it its own distinct subtest. The 391 exam also places a heavier emphasis on the Science of Teaching Reading.
What subjects are covered in the TExES Core Subjects exam?
The exam consists of five specific subtests:
- English Language Arts and Reading (ELAR)
- Mathematics
- Social Studies
- Science
- Fine Arts, Health, and Physical Education
What is the best way to study for the TExES Core Subjects?
Success usually comes from a combination of:
- Official Pearson preparation manuals.
- Reviewing the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for grades EC-6.
- Using Prephow practice tests to identify weak areas.
How long is my TExES 391 passing score valid?
Once you pass, the score is valid for life as part of your certification record. However, you must complete all other certification requirements (like clinical teaching and the PPR exam) to receive your standard certificate.
How much time do I have to complete the exam?
You are given 5 hours (300 minutes) of total testing time. This includes time for the individual subtests plus a short period for a CAT (Computer-Administered Test) tutorial and a compliance agreement.
Can I take the subtests separately?
Yes. While many candidates take the full exam (all five subtests) at once during their first attempt, you can register for individual subtests if you only need to pass a specific area.

I was worried about the breadth of the Social Studies section, from Texas history to economics. Prephow's tests covered all the key concepts without being overwhelming. It was a huge help.
