Virginia Communication and Literacy Assessment (VCLA) — Virginia Department of Education
The VCLA, the Virginia Communication and Literacy Assessment, has a reading subtest of about 40 multiple-choice items and a writing subtest of about 40 multiple-choice items plus short-answer items, a summary and a composition. You need 235 on each subtest, or 470 together. Virginia removed it as an initial licensure requirement from July 2024, so check whether you need it. SummitCert's portal practices the multiple-choice items with explanations, flashcards and an 80-question practice set.

VCLA exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The VCLA has a reading subtest (091) of about 40 multiple-choice items and a writing subtest (092) of about 40 multiple-choice items, three short-answer items, a written summary and a written composition (Pearson VCLA program page). At a test center you have four hours of testing time for one or both subtests. This portal practices the multiple-choice items with an 80-question practice set; it does not score the short-answer items, summary or composition, so it is a study aid rather than a full simulation. You need a scaled score of 235 on a single subtest, or 470 when both subtests are taken together. The practice set here covers only multiple-choice items, so it is a study tool rather than a prediction. The Pearson VCLA page lists $40 for one subtest and $80 for both, plus a $50 registration processing fee. House Bill 731 removed the VCLA as a requirement for initial licensure effective July 1, 2024; confirm with the Virginia Department of Education or your program whether you still need it.
