Before You Register

Computer-Based Testing

Seating availability for both computer-based and paper-based testing is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. During periods of increased demand, your first-choice testing site, date, or time may not be available. Examinees should register as early as possible to avoid potential scheduling conflicts.

The FTCE and FELE are offered on computer at flexible times and locations throughout the year. See "Test Sites" for a list of computer-based testing centers in Florida and out-of-state. Please note that not all tests are available at all test centers.

There are no registration deadlines; however, you should plan to register as early as possible before your desired test date, as seating is limited. At the conclusion of your test, you will receive your unofficial score results for the multiple-choice questions.

If you took a test with a performance component, you will receive proof of testing that documents your completion of the test. In addition, your unofficial pass/fail status will be available on this Web site by 2 weeks after the test date for most tests and by 4 weeks after the test date for French K–12, German K–12, Spanish K–12, and Speech 6–12. Official score reports for most tests will be mailed approximately 2 weeks after the test date. Score reports for French K–12, German K–12, Spanish K–12, and Speech 6–12 will be mailed approximately 4 weeks after the test date.

Paper-Based Testing

The FTCE and FELE test dates and registration deadlines for paper-based testing are listed below. All tests are offered on all test dates. In addition to Regular Administrations, several Supplemental Administrations are offered at selected test sites for an additional charge.
