Frequently Asked Questions

What subtests are on the FTCE General Knowledge test?

The FTCE General Knowledge test has four subtests: English Language Skills, Reading, Mathematics, and an Essay. You can take them in one sitting or separately. Each subtest is scored independently, so you only need to retake the ones you don't pass.

How long do I have to wait to retake an FTCE subtest?

Florida requires a 31-day waiting period between attempts on the same FTCE subtest. The wait starts the day after your previous attempt. Use that time to focus on the specific subtest you need to pass rather than restudying everything.

How much does the FTCE General Knowledge test cost?

Each FTCE GK subtest costs about $150 if taken individually. If you register for all four subtests at once, the bundled fee is typically lower per subtest. Retake fees apply each time you sit for a subtest again, so it pays to prepare thoroughly the first time.

What's the passing score for the FTCE General Knowledge test?

Most FTCE GK subtests use a scaled score with 200 as the passing mark. The Essay is scored on a 4-12 point scale (you generally need an 8 or higher). Each subtest is judged on its own, so a strong score in one area can't offset a failing score in another.

How long should I study for the FTCE General Knowledge test?

Most candidates spend four to eight weeks preparing, putting in roughly five to ten hours per week. If your math is rusty, plan for the longer end of that range. Working through realistic practice questions and timed essays is the fastest way to spot weak areas.

Is the FTCE General Knowledge test required for Florida teaching certification?

Yes. Florida requires the General Knowledge test for full Professional Certification. You can teach on a Temporary Certificate while you work to pass it, but you must pass all four subtests to be fully certified by the Florida Department of Education.

Is the FTCE delivered on a computer?

Yes, the FTCE General Knowledge test is computer-based and administered at Pearson VUE testing centers across Florida and select out-of-state locations. Multiple-choice subtests are delivered on screen, and the Essay is typed into the testing platform.

How is the FTCE different from the Praxis?

The FTCE is Florida's state-specific certification series, while the Praxis is a national series accepted by many other states. Florida generally does not accept Praxis scores in place of the FTCE. If you plan to teach in Florida, the FTCE is the path you'll need.
