Everything you need to know about MTEL Certification Exams

What is a MTEL exam?

The purpose of the Massachusetts Test for Licensure, or MTEL, is to measure whether your knowledge and skills are sufficient to become an educator in the state of Massachusetts.

What Massachusetts teacher certification exams do I need to take?

The field of study you want to obtain your license in will determine which MTEL exams you’ll need to take. You can find more information on which exam you need to take in this 240 article.

How do I register for my MTEL exam?

First, you’ll need to have a MEPID number before you can register. After you have ensured that you have a MEPID number, you can begin the registration process. You can log in or create a new account on the MTEL website.

What's a passing score for the MTEL certification exams?

Each MTEL exam has a passing score that is converted into a scaled score to provide consistency among all of the exams. You must receive a minimum scaled score of 240 to receive a passing score.

What happens if I fail my MTEL exam?

If you fail your MTEL exam, you can retake your MTEL test as many times as you need until you receive a passing score. To retake an MTEL exam, you will need to register for it again and pay the test fee.

How much does a MTEL exam cost?

Most MTEL exams cost $139, with the exception of a few. Be sure to check the MTEL test website to check the price for your specific exam.
