Professional Education Test (083).
Computer-based test with approximately 80 multiple-choice questions.
Candidates have 2 hours and 30 minutes and need a scaled score of at least 200.
The official guide includes direct questions, sentence completion, and scenario questions that ask candidates to diagnose or recommend an instructional action.
Instructional design and planning plus instructional delivery and facilitation are each listed at 18% of the official blueprint. Candidates should practice choosing objectives, materials, technologies, learning experiences, differentiation, motivational strategies, and rigor-aligned instruction from classroom scenarios.
The exam also emphasizes student-centered learning environments and assessment strategies. Preparation should connect classroom management, student needs, formative and summative assessment, feedback, data use, accommodations, and instructional adjustment rather than treating these as separate vocabulary lists.
The smaller-weighted competencies include continuous professional improvement, professional conduct, English Language Learner practices, and cross-curriculum literacy. These areas often appear as judgment questions where candidates must choose the most legally, ethically, and instructionally sound response.
