Choosing Your Test Date

Passing the CPACE is one of the main ways prospective school administrators meet the requirements for a California credential.

Begin by learning the deadline your employer or educational institution requires you to pass by. Then take a look at the current CPACE test dates and results release schedule.

Make sure you also allow time to retake the test if you do not pass on your first attempt. You can retake the exam as many times as needed, but must wait 45 calendar days between attempts.

Plan to take the exam as early as possible, while still giving yourself sufficient time to prepare. To work out how much study time you need, view our free CPACE Study Guide to see what content is covered on your exam. Then take our free CPACE Practice Test to see how you’ll perform and identify any areas where you need to improve.
