Subject: Field Test Mathematics Proficiency Test (MPT)

The launch of the Mathematics Proficiency Test (MPT) is scheduled for spring 2020, and EQAO is in the process of finalizing the test administration platform and test items.

Field Test
To ensure the high quality and reliability of the online test and to validate the assessment items, EQAO will be conducting field tests between February 18 and March 7, 2020, at various test centres throughout the province. A range of participants from all divisions (primary, junior, intermediate, senior and Technological Education) and with a variety of teachable subject areas is encouraged. The MPT field test is a cost-free opportunity for teacher applicants to attempt the test.

If teacher applicants attempt the field test and have a successful outcome, they will have satisfied the legislated MPT-certification requirement. However, if the teacher applicants are not yet successful on this field test attempt, their next attempt will still count as their first attempt.

Test Centre
Please note that the number of available spaces will be limited to the capacity at participating test centres, and spaces will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Information regarding registration, test locations and dates and times of the field test will be available shortly.

Ontario College of Teachers Application Number
An Ontario College of Teachers application number is required to register for the MPT. This number is issued once an applicant opens an application with the Ontario College of Teachers.

EQAO will continue to provide updates on the MPT to faculties of education throughout the province, and you can visit www.mathproficiencytest.ca for sample test questions, what you can expect on the day of the test and answers to frequently asked questions.

Thank you.
