MTEL Adult Basic Education Test

The Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL) Adult Basic Education test is part of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure curriculum. This test contains five content area subtests. These subtests include English Language Arts, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Math, History and Social Science, and Science. Eighty- five percent of the test taker's score is based upon 80 to 90 multiple-choice questions. The remaining 15 % of the total score is based on the examinee's written response to open-response essay questions.

The MTEL Adult Basic Education test multiple-choice questions provide test takers with the opportunity to demonstrate their depth of comprehension of the five content areas.

The two brief open-response essay questions in the MTEL Adult Basic Education test are intended to demonstrate the examinee's capacity to consider theoretical material in a real-world matrix and respond in a short, though comprehensive, essay.
