Hints will display for most wrong answers; explanations for most right answers.   You can attempt a question multiple times; it will only be scored correct if you get it right the first time.  To see a new question, reload the page.

I used the official objectives and sample test to construct these questions, but cannot promise that they accurately reflect what’s on the real test.   Some of the sample questions were more convoluted than I could bear to write.   See terms of use.   See the MTEL Practice Test main page to view questions on a particular topic or to download paper practice tests.

Hint:
A possible fee, but not the largest possible fee. Check the other choices to see which are factors of all three numbers.

$7 Hint: A possible fee, but not the largest possible fee. Check the other choices to see which are factors of all three numbers. $14

Hint:
This is the greatest common factor of 70, 126, and 266.

\$70

Hint:
Not a factor of 126 or 266, so couldn't be correct.
