MTTC practice questions - frequently asked questions

Plain answers about how MTTC Exam Prep works: the exam, the questions, pricing, the free trial, and what you actually get.

No - and you should be wary of any site claiming otherwise. Every question here is original, written to mirror the style, difficulty, and judgment the real MTTC exam tests. Each one comes with a plain-language explanation of why the right answer is right and the others aren't.

The MTTC exam spans 11 domains: Subtest 1 Professional Knowledge and Skills: Learner-Centered Supports (60% of the exam); Subtest 1 Professional Knowledge and Skills: Professional Knowledge and Strategic Partnerships (40% of the exam); Subtest 2 Literacy: Literacy in Context (30% of the exam); Subtest 2 Literacy: Literacy Skills–Instruction and Practices (30% of the exam); Subtest 2 Literacy: Literacy Processes–Instruction and Practices (40% of the exam); Subtest 3 Mathematics: Mathematics-Specific Teaching Practices (20% of the exam); Subtest 3 Mathematics: Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching Grades PK–3—Attribution and Counting and Whole Number Representation (40% of the exam); Subtest 3 Mathematics: Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching Grades PK–3—Early Fraction Representation and Whole Number Operation (40% of the exam); Subtest 4 Science and Social Studies: Science—Engaging Children in 3-Dimensional Science Learning as Identified in the National Research Council’s A Framework for K–12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas (25% of the exam); Subtest 4 Science and Social Studies: Science—Children’s Sense-making and Science Teaching Pedagogy (25% of the exam); Subtest 4 Science and Social Studies: Social Studies—Instruction and Practices (50% of the exam).
