Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CPAC exam?

The California Preliminary Administrative Credential Examination (CPAC) is a computer-based assessment designed to measure whether a candidate has the requisite knowledge and skills for an entry-level school administrator position in California.

Who is required to take the CPAC?

The exam is for educators seeking a Preliminary Administrative Services Credential via the "examination-only" route or for those whose preparation programs require it. It is primarily for those aiming to become principals, assistant principals, or district-level administrators.

What topics are covered in the CPAC exam?

The exam covers six major domains:

  • Visionary Leadership
  • Instructional Leadership
  • Management and Learning Environment
  • Family and Community Engagement
  • Ethics and Integrity
  • External Context and Policy

How do I register for the CPAC exam?

Registration is completed online through the official CECA website. You will need to create an account, choose a date, and pay the fee.

What is the difference between the CPAC and the CalAPA?

The CPAC is a traditional multiple-choice examination. The California Administrator Performance Assessment (CalAPA) is a series of three performance-based tasks involving video and written reflection. Most candidates currently enrolled in an administrative program take the CalAPA, while the CPAC is an alternative route.

Can the CPAC replace an administrative preparation program?

In California, passing the CPAC is one way to satisfy the "knowledge" requirement for the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential, but candidates must still meet experience and educational requirements set by the CTC.

What are the best resources for CPAC preparation?

Candidates are encouraged to study the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (CPSEL), state education codes, and take Prephow CPAC practice tests to familiarize themselves with the question format.

How long should I study for the CPAC?

Most successful candidates recommend studying for 4 to 8 weeks, focusing on areas like school finance, collective bargaining, and special education law.
