Some Frequently Asked Questions about the MTEL…
What is the MTEL?
The MTEL Mathematics test measures aptitude in mathematics for teacher candidates looking to certify as math teachers. This test must be taken in addition to the assessments in reading, writing, mathematics and professional knowledge required in Massachusetts. The MTEL Mathematics test does not replace these other exams.
What is on the MTEL?
The MTEL assesses your understanding of numbers; your understanding of the fundamentals of algebra; the properties and relationships among objects in space and the study of mathematical structures; your ability to effectively collect, manage, analyze, interpret, and represent data; the structures and concepts underlying trigonometry and calculus; and your ability to apply your knowledge and express it in a coherent and organized piece of writing.
How is the MTEL scored?
Each multiple-choice question is worth one raw point. The total number of questions you get correct is added up to obtain your raw score. Constructed responses are scored holistically by two separate graders who are unaware of each other’s evaluations of your work. If they differ substantially, to ensure fairness a third scorer determines your final essay score. This number is added to your raw score which is then converted to a scale of 100–300. Constructed responses are scored on a scale ranging from 1 to 4 on four criteria: purpose, subject matter knowledge, support, and rationale.
The multiple-choice section constitutes 80 percent of your score, and the constructed responses 20 percent. In order to pass the MTEL: Mathematics test, you must receive a score of at least 240. There will be some questions on the test that are not scored; however, you will not know which ones these are. MTEL uses these to test out new questions for future exams. There is no guess penalty on the MTEL, so you should always guess if you do not know the answer to a question.
How is the MTEL administered?
The MTEL: Mathematics test is a computer-based test offered in testing windows throughout the year at a range of universities and testing centers. Check the test’s website for more information. You will need to print your registration ticket from your online account and bring it, along with your identification, to the testing site on test day. No pens, pencils, erasers, printed or written materials, or electronic devices are allowed. A scientific calculator and relevant formulas will be provided on screen. You may not bring a calculator into the testing site. You also may not bring any kind of bag into the testing room or wear headwear (unless for religious purposes). You may take the test once every forty-five days.
