Note: The MTEL Earth Science exam is being replaced by Earth and Space sciences, most likely in 2022. We've added these materials after reviewing them as the questions are well structured with strong rationales.
PracticeQuiz has organized Massachusetts state MTEL content into its test engine to allow Massachusetts teachers to better prepare for this important certification exam. This chemistry exam contains very helpful materials for additional human geography and geology practice for exams like the IB, CLEP, PRAXIS, and other tests.
The Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL) program includes a Communication and Literacy Skills test, PreKindergarten to grade 12 subject-matter tests, a Vocational Technical Literacy Skills Test, and an Adult Basic Education test. See www.mtel.nesinc.com for a complete list of MTEL tests currently offered. Information on what tests must be taken may be obtained from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's website, www.doe.mass.edu/mtel/.
These subject matter tests include 100 multiple-choice items and two open-response items requiring candidates to spend about 20–30 minutes each to prepare an adequate response. The multiple-choice section accounts for 80 percent and the open-response section counts for 20 percent of the candidate's total test score.
