EXAM DESCRIPTION
The FTCE Exceptional Student Education K–12 (061)
examination is a computer-based certification test
administered by Pearson Evaluation Systems under contract
with the Florida Department of Education. The examination

examination.
The NAVA ED FTCE ESE study guide is fully aligned to the skills
and competencies assessed on the exam and includes over 200
practice test questions that cover everything assessed on the
FTCE ESE Test, so candidates can pass their exam the first time.
The guide includes detailed content sections for all
competencies of the test, practice test questions, detailed

The examination is built from six official competencies
weighted by the Florida Department of Education: Foundations
of Exceptional Student Education (23%), Assessment and
Evaluation (13%), Instructional Practices in Exceptional Student
Education (21%), Positive Behavioral Interventions and
Supports (12%), Multiple Literacies and Communication Skills
(21%), and the Transition Process (10%). Together,
Foundations, Instructional Practices, and Multiple Literacies
account for 65% of the examination.

actual certification examination format, providing exam-style
,multiple-choice questions with verified correct answers and
comprehensive rationales. Questions cover legal foundations
including IDEA, Section 504, and FERPA; disability

evidence-based instructional strategies including explicit
instruction, UDL, and differentiation; functional behavioral
assessment and behavior intervention planning; literacy and
communication development; and secondary transition
planning with Florida-specific graduation options.
