MTTC Mathematics (Secondary) (022)

It is a computer-based test with 80 multiple-choice questions. You get 2 hours and 30 minutes of testing time after a 15-minute CBT tutorial and nondisclosure agreement; total appointment time is 2 hours and 45 minutes.

The total appointment is 2 hours and 45 minutes, including 15 minutes for the tutorial and nondisclosure agreement, leaving 2 hours and 30 minutes for 80 questions. That averages about 1 minute 52 seconds per question, so practice with a timer and do not let one item consume your test.

The passing score is 220. Score reports are released within 6 weeks of testing. The official page does not state a different scaled-score range or a subscore requirement, so plan for 220 and check your score report for details.

Yes. You must bring a graphing calculator from the approved list; the official page explicitly says to bring one. On-screen formulas are provided with the test, so practice using those formulas rather than relying only on a personal reference sheet.

No. The official page says the test is for the Mathematics (Secondary) (EX) endorsement and cannot be used for the Mathematics (7–12) (EQ) endorsement. It also states that the last administration date for this test will be in 2029.

The official source does not rate difficulty or publish a pass rate. Difficulty depends on your coursework and how well you handle timed multiple-choice mathematics. Use the official preparation materials, take a full-length practice test under time, and review every error before scheduling.

The official MTTC site announced that retake policy changes would start on 9/26/2025, but the source used for this page does not state the substance of the new rule. Check the MTTC Policies page and your score report for the current retake process and any waiting period.

Start with the official preparation materials and the on-screen formulas. Then take a practice test to identify weak areas, and build a study cycle of targeted review, timed questions, and error analysis. Confirm your approved graphing calculator early so calculator mechanics do not slow you down on test day.

A common pacing mistake is spending too long on one question: 80 questions in 150 minutes leaves little slack. Other avoidable problems include bringing an unapproved calculator, not practicing the provided formulas, and not reading all choices. Remember that some questions may be unscored and do not affect your score.

Appointments are available year-round, Monday through Saturday, excluding some holidays. Test sites are located in Michigan and nationwide. Check appointment availability on the official MTTC site and register early enough to get a date and location that fit your schedule.
