FTCE Visually Impaired K-12 Exam

The Visually Impaired K-12 subject examination consists of about 120 multiple-choice questions. Test-takers will receive a test booklet and a separate answer sheet. Question formats will include direct question, command, sentence completion, data analysis, 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 10 core competencies, each with between 3 and 15 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 developmental growth patterns; assessment, evaluation, and diagnostic procedures; expanded core curriculum; specialized assistive devices and technology; instructional strategies and accommodations; collaborative approaches; philosophical, historical, and legal foundations; medical aspects of visual impairments; exceptional student education; and specialized learning and literacy media.
