Meet ParaPathways, the new paraprofessional exam
ETS retired the ParaPro Assessment after August 31, 2026. ParaPathways is its replacement and the test you take now, though states are adopting it on their own timelines. A ParaPro score you already earned still counts wherever your state accepts it. Get to know the new format before your test date.
