MTTC Health and Physical Education (112/113) exam-day guide
MTTC Health and Physical Education (112/113) · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Government-issued photo ID
Bring an unexpired driver’s license, state ID, or passport. The name must match your registration exactly; a photocopy or expired ID is not acceptable. Confirm accepted ID forms and name-change procedures with the test provider before test day.
Admission confirmation and appointment details
Save or print your appointment confirmation showing the test center address, arrival time, and test codes 112 and/or 113. Confirm whether the provider requires a printed copy or accepts an electronic version on your phone before you enter the secure area.
Travel and parking plan
Confirm the test center location and recommended arrival time; many centers ask candidates to arrive about 30 minutes early. Plan a backup route, account for weather and traffic, and note parking or transit options so a delay does not become a late arrival.
Leave prohibited items at home or in your vehicle
Phones, smartwatches, fitness trackers, notes, textbooks, and bags are not allowed in the testing room. Ask the provider whether lockers or storage are available; if not, plan to leave these items secured outside the center.
Comfortable layers
Testing rooms can be warm or cold. Dress in comfortable layers; you do not need athletic clothing for the physical education test, and there is no practical activity component on the computer-based exam.
Snack and water for the break
Confirm whether the center permits food and drink outside the testing room. If allowed, pack a small snack and water for a scheduled break; items usually must remain in a locker or designated area, not at your testing station.
Subarea and pacing review
Review the official test framework for 112 and 113 and note the subarea weights. Set a rough minutes-per-question target from your appointment length so you do not spend too long on one health or PE item. Confirm exact question count and appointment length with the provider (needs_review).
Scratch-paper and calculator policy
Do not bring your own scratch paper or calculator unless the provider explicitly permits it. Many computer-based tests supply scratch paper or an on-screen tool and collect it after the test; confirm the current policy for 112 and 113 (needs_review).
Sleep and cognitive-stamina plan
Protect sleep in the final two nights and avoid an all-night cram. The health and physical education tests require sustained reading and application of content; a rested pace is more useful than last-minute memorization.
Plan for taking both 112 and 113
If you registered for both tests on the same day, confirm whether they are separate appointments and how much time you get between them. Plan a break, snack, and restroom visit so the second test does not suffer from fatigue (needs_review).
Emergency or reschedule contact information
Save the provider’s contact number and know the emergency reschedule policy before test day. If illness or a travel emergency occurs, contact the provider as soon as possible rather than simply not appearing; confirm any fees or deadlines in advance (needs_review).
Plan the day
Confirm your appointment time, test center address, and test codes 112 and/or 113. Print or save your confirmation, check your ID name and expiration date, and review the official subarea framework one last time.
Complete one timed practice set or a focused review of your weakest subarea, then stop introducing new material. Write a simple pacing plan and a short list of high-frequency concepts in health and physical education to review, not cram.
Pack your ID and confirmation, lay out comfortable layers, and confirm travel time and parking. Check the weather and transit alerts, set two alarms, and aim for a normal night’s sleep rather than late-night review.
Eat a normal breakfast or meal, hydrate moderately, and leave earlier than the map estimate. Arrive at the center with your ID ready and your phone silenced and stored as directed; use the restroom before check-in.
Follow the proctor’s identity-verification and secure-storage instructions. Ask where to store your snack and phone if you are unsure, and confirm the break policy before you enter the testing room.
Use the tutorial to learn the flag and review functions, then follow your pacing plan. Flag uncertain items and return to them if time allows; do not leave questions blank unless the interface warns you that a blank is permitted.
Use the review screen to check for unanswered questions and flagged items. Confirm that your answer selections are recorded before you submit; ask the proctor about the score-report process if it is not explained.
Rules to check
Bring an unexpired government-issued photo ID whose name matches your registration. If your ID name differs from your registration, resolve the issue with the provider before test day; do not assume a correction can be made at check-in.
Do not bring phones, smartwatches, notes, or other unauthorized materials into the testing room. Follow the provider’s storage rules exactly; possession of a device during testing can lead to dismissal or score cancellation.
Ask the proctor about break rules before testing begins. On many computer-based tests, unscheduled breaks may count against your appointment time, so confirm whether your clock stops and how to request a break.
The MTTC passing standard is generally a scaled score of 220 on a 100–300 scale; confirm the current passing standard and score-report timing for tests 112 and 113 with the provider or your official score report.
Use only approved scratch paper or on-screen tools supplied by the test provider. Do not remove scratch paper, notes, or test content from the testing room, and do not discuss specific test questions after the exam.
Arrive by the provider’s recommended time. Candidates who arrive late may be denied admission or have their appointment shortened; confirm the late-arrival policy in advance rather than relying on being admitted.
If you need testing accommodations, request and confirm them well before test day. Accommodations are not arranged at the test center on the morning of the exam; contact the provider for approval procedures and documentation deadlines.
