Is the MPT Cancelled?
As a result of a recent decision of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice – Divisional Court, the Mathematics Proficiency Test (MPT) is no longer a certification requirement.
What is the Ontario math proficiency test?
Ontario introduced the Math Proficiency Test (MPT) as part of a package of provincial strategies to improve student math skills after test scores began to dip. As of last year, the MPT was a requirement for all new teacher candidates who want to teach in publicly-funded schools.
How many attempts are allowed in MPT?
You are permitted to write the MPT a maximum of 3 times. There must be a minimum 4 week gap between tests written. Every rewrite fee is $30.00. If you are unsuccessful in all 3 attempts, you will not be allowed another attempt and will be required to take the pre-requisite course.
