How Do I Begin Preparing for the Florida Educational Leadership Exam?

You either plan to or have registered for the Florida Educational Leadership Exam (FELE).  We all know it is a beast of an exam. So, now what? 

It is completely normal to feel overwhelmed and intimidated.  However, thousands of educators throughout the state of Florida have successfully conquered the Florida Educational Leadership Exam and gone on to enjoy rewarding careers.  Our next series of articles will discuss some FELE test prep strategies to help you get started on your journey for studying and preparing for the exam. Let’s get started:

Evaluate Your Competencies

The first step in FELE test prep is to thoroughly examine and evaluate your competencies in relation to how they are presented on the Florida Educational Leadership Exam.  The State of Florida provides a resource to assist with this.

Understand What is Expected in Each Section

The next step in FELE test prep is to gain a full understanding of how the FELE is structured and what is expected. The FELE is comprised of three Subtests: Leadership for Student Understanding (multiple choice), Organization Development (multiple choice), and System Leadership (multiple choice and FELE written response). We have tailored our FELE exam study guide resources to address each Subtest so you can better focus on the area(s) where you need to spend the most time studying.

Our next article will cover more ways to begin preparing for the Florida Educational Leadership Exam.

Important 2026 Changes to FELE

The Current Florida Educational Leadership Exam is being retired as of December 31, 2025. FELE 4.0 will roll out on January 1, 2026.

Here is some important information that you need to know:

If you’ve already started taking the current FELE, you will need to complete and pass all three subtests before the December 31, 2025 deadline. If you don’t pass all subtests by then, you’ll need to start fresh with FELE 4.0.

If you’re planning to take the FELE this year, then please start preparing for the FELE exam now as you will also need to pass all three subtests before the December 31, 2025 deadline. Order your FELE test prep materials, sign up for a FELE seminar or FELE tutoring, and pick up some FELE flashcards.

If you’re not planning to take the FELE until after 2025, then keep an eye on our website for further information and resources as they become available.
