What kinds of questions are on the MTTC?

Most MTTC exams consist only of multiple-choice (MC) questions. Depending on the subject area, multiple-choice questions may ask you to analyze a reading passage, calculate a numerical answer, or choose the correct response to a statement. It is good practice to review different types of multiple-choice questions by working problems and completing a full-length sample exam before test day.

World-language subject area exams such as 101 Mandarin, 023 French, and 028 Spanish have a mixture of multiple-choice and constructed-response (CRQ) questions. These exams may have 80 MC and 2 CRQs or 35 MC and 8 CRQs. You can check the specific breakdown for your test on the MTTC website. Written assignments include translations and short narrative answers to open-ended questions.

Are there any essay questions on the MTTC?

There are no essay questions on the MTTC. All exams except for world languages are multiple-choice only. The CRQ assignments for world language exams are in the form of narrative short answers or translations and not full essays.
