FTCE Physics 6-12 Exam

The Physics subject examination consists of about 80 multiple-choice questions. Test-takers will receive a test booklet and a separate answer sheet. They will also be provided with a scientific calculator and a sheet of constants. Question formats will include direct question, command, sentence completion, graphics, and scenario. Each question will contain four response options, which will be answered by bubbling in choice A, B, C, or D.

The test encompasses 8 core competencies, each with between 5 and 20 skill areas. 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.

Test-takers will need to demonstrate knowledge of the basic nature of physics; the mathematics of physics; thermodynamics; mechanics; vibrations, waves, and sound; light and optics; electricity and magnetism; and modern physics.
