The Texas Education Agency contracted with National Evaluation Systems, Inc., of Amherst,
Massachusetts, to design and develop 63 separate tests for the Examination for the Certification
of Educators in Texas (ExCET) Program. These tests and their administration procedures have
been designed to meet professional standards for certification testing programs. Since program
inception, they have been subject to review from both legal and technical standpoints and
have won the respect of educators both in and outside the state. Texas's program is one of
the most extensive criterion-referenced teacher certification testing programs in the United
States and serves as a model for programs in other states.
