Test Selection
Refer to the following tables to identify the specific test or tests you wish to take. If you are not sure which tests you are required to take, consult your advisor or the certification officer at your institution.
There are two test sessions on each test date. The morning test session begins at 7:30 a.m. and lasts until approximately 12:30 p.m. The afternoon test session begins at 1:00 p.m. and lasts
until approximately 6:00 p.m. Each test session includes four and one-half hours of actual
testing time.
Examinees taking the Basic Skills test may take up to two additional subject-area tests during the afternoon test session. The Basic Skills test is a full-session test and will be scheduled only during the morning test session.
Subject-area tests are scheduled during the morning or afternoon test session on a space-available basis. With the exception of Spanish, French, and Japanese Language and Culture, which are each full-session tests offered only in the afternoon, examinees taking only subject-area tests may take up to four tests: two during the morning test session and two during the afternoon test session.
You will be assigned to either one or both test sessions, according to the number and type of tests for which you register. You may not register for a test more than once per administration.
Each test session is designed to allow sufficient time for completion of two subject-area tests. However, if you are registering for only two subject-area tests, you may request to be assigned only one subject-area test for each test session. If you register by mail, you must enclose a note detailing your request together with your completed registration form. If you register online for two subject-area tests only, you will be asked whether you would like to take one test in each session. Test session assignments are made on a space-available basis and cannot be guaranteed.
Information about the test sessions to which you have been assigned and the tests you have been scheduled to take during each session will be included on your admission
ticket(s).

| Reading and Reading Specialist Tests |
 |
Please be aware that Reading (test code 05) and Reading Specialist (test code 92) are separate tests that correspond to different endorsements. The Reading and Reading Specialist tests are not interchangeable. Reading (05) may be used as a minor or a major, or as an additional endorsement at either the elementary or secondary level. Reading Specialist (92) is a graduate program to be used only as an additional K–12 endorsement for individuals who already hold teaching certificates. It is imperative that you take the test that corresponds to your approved program. You may be certified to teach only in areas in which your institution has an approved program. Please contact your advisor to be sure that you register for the correct test.
| Bilingual Tests |
|
In order to become certified in a bilingual field, you must pass the MTTC test in the bilingual area in which you seek an endorsement. However, if you seek more than one bilingual endorsement, you only need to take one bilingual test. Refer to the table below for details about specific bilingual fields.
