Описание: 📣Are you a California teacher ready to take the next step into school leadership? The California Preliminary Administrative Credential Examination (CPACE) is your pathway to becoming a principal, vice principal, or site-level leader. In this video, we break down everything you need to know to approach the exam with confidence.

We’ll explain what’s on the CPACE exam, including the two required subtests: CPACE–Content (multiple-choice and written responses) and CPACE–Performance (analysis-based written modules). You’ll also learn about the six leadership domains tested — from Visionary Leadership to Community Leadership — and how each one reflects the skills needed to guide a school community effectively.

This guide is especially helpful if you’re a California teacher preparing for your Preliminary Administrative Services Credential, a career changer moving into education leadership, or an educator comparing online vs in-person CPACE testing options. With detailed time management strategies, scoring breakdowns, and study plan recommendations, you’ll know exactly how to pace yourself during the exam.

According to the CTCE exams website, candidates must earn a score of 220 or higher on both subtests to pass. We’ll also show you how Study.com’s CPACE Test Prep Course, with a 92% pass rate, can help you succeed through video lessons, practice exams, and expert-designed study tools.
