Comprehensive FTCE prep through Varsity Tutors can help you build your skills and confidence to put your best foot forward on the Florida Teacher Certification Examinations or the FTCE. These exams are used to assess your foundational knowledge and skill level to earn a teaching certificate in Florida. There are three main tests: Florida Educational Leadership Examination, the FTCE General Knowledge Test, and the FTCE Professional Education Test (PEd). In addition, there are over 30 FTCE Subject Areas Examinations or SAE. These are subject-specific exams for those who are interested in teaching a specific course, such as Agriculture or Business Education. Your FTCE test prep can focus on the exam that you are planning to take, allowing you to thoroughly prepare for the exam's contents and format under the guidance of an expert instructor. There are many benefits offered by the one-on-one FTCE tutoring we can help you connect to.
An FTCE class can help you get to know the format of your exam. Since each test is different, it follows a unique design that you need to be prepared for. FTCE test preparation can help you better understand the design of exams like the one discussed below:
Professional Education Test Design:
| Format |
Computer-based test |
|
Number of Questions |
Approximately 120 multiple-choice questions |
| Time | 2 hours and 30 minutes |
| Passing Score | A scaled score of at least 200 |
Your FTCE prep is designed to focus entirely on you. As the sole student, each of your FTCE courses follow a plan that addresses the areas of the exam in which you have the most room for growth. Your tutor can get to know your learning personality to identify the ideal teaching techniques and tools for your needs. In addition, they can incorporate custom-tailored activities and materials to help you engage in the information on a personal level.
As you dive into the content of your exam in FTCE test prep sessions, your instructor can take patiently breakdown each concept in a way that you understand. They may take the time to help you familiarize yourself with the weight of each concept your chosen exam covered. For example, the FTCE PEd is explained below:
| Competency | Approximate Percentage of Total Test Questions |
| Knowledge of instructional design and planning | 18% |
| Knowledge of appropriate student-centered learning environments | 15% |
| Knowledge of instructional delivery and facilitation through a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter | 18% |
| Knowledge of various types of assessment strategies for determining the impact on student learning | 14% |
| Knowledge of relevant continuous professional improvement | 12% |
| Knowledge of the Principles of Professional Conduct of the Education Profession in Florida | 9% |
| Knowledge of research-based practices appropriate for teaching English Language Learners (ELLs) | 7% |
| Knowledge of effective literacy strategies that can be applied across the curriculum to impact student learning | 7% |
You can spend each FTCE prep session reviewing the areas of the exam that you are most concerned with. For instance, you can skip over research-based practices for ELL and focus on assessment strategies that you can use to determine a student's progress. FTCE tutors can regularly assess your development to ensure that you are on the right path, though they may do so in several different ways.
One-on-one FTCE classes can allow you to enjoy the full attention of an expert instructor who can bring efficiency to your FTCE test prep. Your instructor can take the time to introduce you to study strategies that can allow you to enhance your independent FTCE preparation.
Your FTCE course is designed to be flexible and convenient. You can arrange to meet with your instructor at a time and place that works for you. Alternatively, you can opt to engage in FTCE prep over our Live Learning Platform where you can webcam chat with your tutor.
We can't wait to help you in the pursuit of your teaching license. Varsity Tutors' Educational Directors can help you connect with solid FTCE test prep available at your convenience.
