FTCE Elementary Education K-6 Exam

The Elementary Education K-6 subject examination consists of about five sections: Language Arts and Reading; Social Science; Physical Education, Health, Music, and Visual Arts; Science and Technology; and Mathematics. Test-takers will receive a test booklet and a separate answer sheet and will have morning and afternoon test-taking sessions in order to complete the exam. Question formats will include direct question; sentence completion; charts, graphs, and maps; command; and scenario. Each question will contain four response options, which will be answered by bubbling in choice A, B, C, or D.

Each section of the test encompasses competencies and skill areas and includes about 45 questions. Competencies are defined as areas of content knowledge, with skills being the behaviors that demonstrate those competencies. Each competency is also assigned a percentage representing the approximate proportion of test items in that content area on the test. Together, the competencies and skills are representative of knowledge that has been determined by content specialists to be important for beginning teachers.

Sections include:

  • Language Arts and Reading-This section consists of 6 core competencies, each with between 4 and 11 skill areas. Test-takers will need to demonstrate knowledge of emergent literacy; reading; the process of constructing meaning from a variety of texts; literature; writing; and use of reading assessment.
  • Social Science-This section consists of 5 core competencies, each with between 2 and 11 skill areas. Test-takers will need to demonstrate knowledge of time, continuity, and change (history); people, places, and environment (geography); government and the citizen (government and civics); production, distribution, and consumption (economics); and instruction and assessment of the social sciences.
  • Physical Education-This section consists of 9 core competencies, each with between 2 and 6 skill areas. Test-takers will need to demonstrate knowledge of personal health and wellness; physical, social, and emotional growth and development; community health and safety issues; subject content and appropriate curriculum design; skills and techniques in music and visual arts; creation and communication in music and visual arts; cultural and historical connections in music and visual arts; aesthetic and critical analysis of music and visual arts; and appropriate assessment strategies in music and visual arts.
  • Science and Technology-This section consists of 9 core competencies, each with between 2 and 10 skill areas. Test-takers will need to demonstrate knowledge of the nature of matter; forces, motion, and energy; processes that shape the Earth; Earth and space; the processes of life; how living things interact with the environment; the nature and history of science; the relationship of science and technology; and technology processes and applications.
  • Mathematics-This section consists of 6 core competencies, each with between 3 and 9 skill areas. Test-takers will need to demonstrate knowledge of number sense, concepts, and operations; measurement; geometry and spatial sense; algebraic thinking; data analysis and probability; and instruction and assessment.

Because the number of questions and correct answers needed to pass the examination may vary slightly from one form of the test to another, the Florida Department of Education provides only general guidelines about how many questions must be answered correctly in order to pass. Scores will be available between two weeks and 30 days after the test date.
