Latest Posted Program Notice
PECT site announcement list
PECT is a testing program, not one single uniform exam. This 200-question bank is aligned to the official PreK-4 test: Module 1 has 36 selected-response questions in 45 minutes, Module 2 has 45 questions in 75 minutes, and Module 3 has 45 questions in 90 minutes. Passing scores are 197 on Module 1 and 193 on Modules 2 and 3 on a 100-300 scale. The current official fee is $131 for all three modules. As of March 7, 2026, the official PECT site still shows the same three-module structure and online-proctoring availability, and I did not find an official 2026 redesign notice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PECT one exam?
No. PECT is Pennsylvania’s educator-certification testing program, and different certification routes use different test titles. This practice bank is anchored to PreK-4 because it is the broadest general elementary PECT pathway and has a clear official three-module blueprint.
How many questions are on the PECT PreK-4 exam?
The official PreK-4 test has 126 selected-response questions total: 36 questions on Module 1, 45 questions on Module 2, and 45 questions on Module 3. Pearson also lists a 15-minute computer-based testing tutorial, and candidates who sit for all three modules together get 15-minute breaks between modules.
How much time do I get?
Official timing is 45 minutes for Module 1, 75 minutes for Module 2, and 90 minutes for Module 3. If you test in one sitting, plan for the extra tutorial time and breaks in addition to the scored testing time.
What passing score do I need?
Pearson’s official score-report explanation states that Module 1 passes at 197, while Modules 2 and 3 pass at 193. Scores are reported on a 100-300 scale, and you must pass all three modules to complete the PreK-4 test requirement.
How much does PECT cost in 2026?
The current official Pennsylvania voucher schedule shows $46 for Module 1, $46 for Module 2, $53 for Module 3, and $131 for all three modules together. Always confirm the live registration total before checkout in case Pearson updates fees.
What changed for PECT in 2026?
As of March 7, 2026, I did not find an official 2026 PECT redesign or cut-score change notice on the Pennsylvania PECT site. The most recent PECT-specific program announcement I found is the March 25, 2024 notice about Special Education PK-8 and 7-12 expansion-certificate testing options. The official PreK-4 pages still show the same three-module structure and online-proctoring availability.
How should I study for PECT effectively?
Study by the official module weights, not by personal preference. Literacy is the biggest single subarea inside Module 2, but Module 3 also matters because it covers all of mathematics, science, and health. Weekly mixed sets should include pedagogy scenarios, literacy intervention, and elementary content questions so your pacing matches the actual blueprint.
