Questions and answers
Is there still an MTTC Health test?
Not as test 043, which the MTTC site says retired on September 30, 2023. Health is tested today as Subtest 1: Health Education (112), and these questions follow that subtest's objectives.
How many questions are on the MTTC Health Education subtest?
The test page gives 80 multiple-choice questions and 1 hour 45 minutes of testing time, inside a 2-hour appointment that opens with a 15-minute tutorial and nondisclosure agreement.
What is the passing score for MTTC Health?
The test page gives a passing score of 220 for the subtests. It does not say how many right answers earn 220, so the result here is a plain count.
Is there an MTTC Health study guide?
Yes. The MTTC site lists a study guide for Health and Physical Education Subtests 1 and 2, with the test objectives and sample questions for each subtest. The questions here follow those objectives and repeat none of the samples.
