To be successful on the MPT, applicants are required to score 70% or higher on each component of the test (mathematics and pedagogy) in the same attempt.
How do I register for a test session?
Applicants can book test sessions as soon as the sessions are available on the test session booking page. It is the applicant’s responsibility to book a test session. Test sessions are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants who want to participate in a session that is full can go on a waiting list or can book a test session at another date, time or location.
What content is covered on the MPT?
The MPT is composed of multiple-choice questions and consists of two components:
Mathematics content from Grades 3 to 9, which includes some no-calculator and some calculator-enabled items
Pedagogy component assessing the applicant’s knowledge surrounding a foundational understanding of the mathematics curriculum, assessment and evaluation practices, and learning for all students
In addition to the two components of the MPT, applicants can complete an optional questionnaire consisting of identity-based questions, and a Mathematics Attitude and Perceptions Survey.
How will I receive my MPT results?
Within 10 days of completing the MPT, an Applicant Report with the result will be available on the applicant’s account on the MPT site. Applicants will also be notified by e-mail that their test result is available on their MPT account. For each attempt of the MPT, an Applicant Report will indicate whether the applicant’s status is “Successful” or “Not Yet Successful.”
