MTTC Preparation

Everything You Need to Know about the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification

MTTC Subject Area Examinations


To be eligible for an Interim Teaching Certificate, you must pass a Michigan Test for Teacher Certification (MTTC). Michigan Teachers of Tomorrow has compiled resources to help you with passing these exams and the information below is from our work with the Michigan Department of Education.

Note that the MTTC assessments are administered by Pearson, and the tests are paper-based. You must use your social security number with all MTTC exams in order to process your teacher certification paperwork. If you test in Michigan, all scores will automatically be sent to the Michigan Department of Education.

MTTC Subject Areas

Our Program Advisors play an important role in helping you select the endorsement areas that complement your skills and interests.

Candidates for secondary certification must pass the MTTC subject area test for their desired subject area.

NOTE: Consider becoming qualified to teach more than one subject to increase your marketability with schools. You will not be able to add subjects after your Interim Teaching certificate has been issued.

Candidates seeking elementary certification have two grade band options: Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary. To certify in Lower Elementary, candidates must pass the Lower Elementary (grades PK-3) MTTC subject area test. Similarly, those aiming for Upper Elementary certification are required to take the Upper Elementary (grades 3-5) MTTC subject area test.
