FTCE Educational Media Specialist Registration

To register for the exam, you must first create an FTCE/FELE account. Once your account has been created, log in and select the Educational Media Specialist PK-12 (010) exam. From there, you can register for the exam, pay the $150 testing fee, and schedule your testing appointment.

Test Day

You should arrive at the testing center at least 30 minutes earlier than your scheduled appointment, which allows time for the check-in process. Once you arrive, you will be asked to sign in and provide two valid forms of government-issued ID (one of which must contain your photo). Your photograph will then be taken, and a biometric scan of your palm vein will be taken for identification and security purposes.

You will then be asked to place all personal items such as your phone, wallet, and keys in a locker outside the testing room, or you may be asked to leave them in your car.

Once the test begins, you will be allowed to take breaks. However, the timer will not be stopped during your break, so use your break time carefully.

How the Exam is Scored

Your FTCE score is determined by taking the number of questions you answered correctly and converting it to a scaled score. To pass, you will need to get a scaled score of at least 200.

You will receive your official score report within four weeks after testing.
