MTTC Mathematics (Elementary) (089)

The official test page identifies the test only as the assessment for the Mathematics (Elementary) (EX) endorsement and does not enumerate content domains there. Use the official preparation materials linked from the MTTC Prepare pages to see the current content and question descriptions before you build a study plan.

No. The official page states plainly that this test cannot be used for the Mathematics (5–9) (EQ) endorsement. If you are seeking that endorsement, you need the separate Mathematics (5–9) test. Confirm endorsement questions with the Michigan Department of Education or your preparation program.

Total appointment time is 2 hours and 45 minutes. That includes 15 minutes for the CBT tutorial and nondisclosure agreement, leaving 2 hours and 30 minutes of testing time for the 80 multiple-choice questions. Budget roughly under two minutes per question so you keep time to review flagged items.

The passing score is 220. Scores are released within 6 weeks of testing, and the official score report dates page lists specific release dates. Plan for that window if an endorsement deadline or hiring timeline depends on your result, and keep your score report accessible in your account.

The test fee is $129. The official page notes that additional fees may apply, so review the payment information page before registering. The MTTC site has also announced a test fee reimbursement grant program for eligible first-time candidates in a prior academic year; check the current program guidelines rather than assuming eligibility.

Bring a graphing calculator. The official page directs candidates to the approved graphing calculator list, so verify your model against that list before your appointment. On-screen formulas are provided with your test, so you do not need to memorize every formula, but you should know how to use the provided reference efficiently.

Appointments are available by appointment year-round, Monday through Saturday, excluding some holidays. Test sites are located in Michigan and nationwide. Check appointment availability on the MTTC site and book early if you need a specific date or a nearby location, since seats at convenient centers fill up.

Yes. The official page states that the last administration date for this test will be in 2029. If you need the Mathematics (Elementary) (EX) endorsement, plan your registration and any retake well before then, and watch the MTTC site for updated dates and any announced replacement tests.

Not necessarily. The official page notes that tests may include questions being evaluated for future administrations and that those do not affect a candidate's score. Treat every question as if it counts, since you cannot identify the unscored ones, and answer all items rather than leaving blanks.

Two recurring risks: assuming this test serves the Mathematics (5–9) (EQ) endorsement when it does not, and arriving without an approved graphing calculator. A third is poor pacing across 80 questions in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Confirm your endorsement path and calculator model before test day.
