RICA Test Prep
Watch our 1-minute video above to learn more about the different prep options we offer.
Update: The Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) previously announced that the Reading Instruction Competence Assessment (RICA) had been retired and would no longer be offered after June 30, 2025. However, on July 2, the CTC announced that the governor had signed Assembly Bill 121, which contains provisions allowing specified candidates until October 31, 2025 to take and pass the RICA.
Some teacher candidates may now have three options: take the RICA before October 31, take a Commission-approved performance assessment that includes literacy instruction, or take the Foundations of Reading Test (FoRT). We advise consulting with the CTC or your credential advisor for details about your individual situation and requirements.
Teachers Test Prep will continue offering our existing RICA prep programs for as long as the test is available, and we also now offer both live and self-paced FoRT preparation.
