Visit the Bureau of Educator Certification at the Florida Department of Education website. Read and understand the guidelines for the testing requirements prescribed for your particular certification.
Browse the official FTCE website and download the two free documents to know more about the test: FTCE Skills and Competencies and FTCE Time and Questions. Go through this information to understand the pattern of the test, the time you have to answer and the specific skills being assessed. Evaluate your skills in comparison with these prescribed levels to know which area to concentrate for your test preparation.
Purchase study guides such as the one on the official FTCE website or from college bookstores. These guides are also available at many university libraries.
Study from these books and test your abilities by taking the free practice tests on websites such as TestPrepReview. Go through the answers provided for each question you solve, irrespective of whether you get the answer right or wrong. This is helpful to understand the correct manner of answering a question.
Sign up for a course to prepare for the FTCE. Most colleges in Florida with a program in Education provide such courses to help teachers with their preparation.
Brush up on your computer operating skills with some regular practice or by taking up an introductory course in computer operation. As of April 2011, all the FTCE tests are computer-based and it is vital you get familiar with using the computer.
