Computer-Based Testing

The FTCE and FELE are offered on computer at flexible times and locations throughout the year. Computer-based tests are equivalent to the paper-based tests in length and difficulty. Minimal computer skills are required to complete the computer-based tests. You need to be comfortable with a Windows environment and with using a mouse, including clicking, double-clicking, dragging, and scrolling.

A list of computer-based tests currently available is posted on the FTCE/FELE Program Web site. The list includes 11 more subject areas that will become available on computer in fall 2009. All FTCE/FELE tests will be available on computer by December 1, 2009.

Please note that as part of the normal development process, some exams may be temporarily unavailable on computer.

For a list of computer-based testing locations, a current list of test available, or to register, please visit the FTCE/FELE Program website at www.fl.nesinc.com.

At the Test Center. After being seated for your computer-based test, you will complete a tutorial before taking the actual test. The tutorial demonstrates how to move from question to question, how to mark and change answers, and how to go back and review previously answered or skipped questions. If the test you are taking includes a recorded component or a performance component, you will be shown how these questions will be presented and how to record your responses during the actual test. You will be provided with a pencil and note paper for use during the test. For certain tests, you will also be provided with a calculator.

Score Reporting. 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 online. You will receive your official score report in the mail.

If you do not pass the test or if you attend a score verification session, you must wait 31 days before retaking the test.
