The Special Education: Education of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students test measures whether entry-level teachers have the standards-relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities believed necessary for competent professional practice. The content of the test is based on the professional teacher preparation standards of The Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), which ensure that students with disabilities receive high-quality instruction from well-prepared educators, and on the standards published by the Council on Education of the Deaf (CED).

The test is also informed by the existing Core Curriculum and the Expanded Core Curriculum for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children and Youths. The two-hour test is composed of 120 computer-delivered, selected-response questions.

This test may contain some questions that will not count toward your score.
