Some Frequently Asked Questions about the NMTA…
What is the NMTA?
The NMTA Elementary assessment is a part of teaching licensure in New Mexico. NMTA scores are used to complete a state application for teacher certification. The elementary exam ensures that the examinee has the skills and knowledge necessary to become an educator in New Mexico public schools.
What is on the NMTA?
You will answer approximately thirty multiple-choice questions (24 percent of the test) on Student Development and Learning, approximately fifty multiple-choice questions (40 percent of the test) and one case study (10 percent of the test) on Assessment, Instruction, and the Learning Environment, and approximately twenty multiple-choice questions (16 percent of the test) and one work product written assignment (10 percent of the test) on the Professional Environment.
How is the NMTA scored?
On the NMTA, the number of correctly answered questions is used to create your scaled score. Scores are scaled to a number in the range of 100 – 300, with a passing score of 220. The score shows your performance on the test as a whole and is scaled to allow comparison across various versions of the test.
The multiple-choice questions are equally weighted. The 100 multiple-choice questions account for 80 percent of your overall score. The two written assignments are worth 10 percent each, comprising the remaining 20 percent. The preceding table offers a breakdown of the concepts covered in the multiple-choice sections of the test. Keep in mind that some multiple-choice questions are experimental questions for the purpose of the NMTA test writers and will not count toward your overall score. However, since those questions are not indicated on the test, you must respond to every question. There is no penalty for guessing on NMTA tests, so be sure to eliminate incorrect answer choices and answer every question. If you still do not know the answer, guess; you may get it right!
On the constructed-response section, two graders assign a score of 1 – 4 to each response. The responses are scored holistically with high scores being given to responses that show thorough understanding of the prompt by being accurate, effective, and complete. Each response will be scaled and contribute to 20 percent of your overall score.
How is the NMTA administered?
The NMTA is a computer-administered test. The NMTA website allows you to take practice tests to acclimate yourself to the computerized format. The NMTA is available at testing centers across the nation and world. To find a testing center near you, go to the testing center’s website.
