      <\/span> Registration<\/h2>\n

      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.<\/p>\n

      <\/span>Test Day<\/h2>\n

      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.<\/p>\n

      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.<\/p>\n

      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.<\/p>\n

      <\/span>How the Exam is Scored<\/h2>\n

      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.<\/p>\n

      You will receive your official score report within four weeks after testing.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
