MTTC Certification Exams

Students are solely responsible for MTTC test preparation.

MDE Social Studies standards focus on the following content areas:

1. Historical Concepts and Skills
2. World History

• S. History

1. Interdisciplinary Perspectives

The Department of History advises students as follows:

• HST courses teach students how to study history, not all of the facts, knowledge, and analysis in a period or area.
• Many MTTC Subarea questions demand detailed knowledge of people, places, and events in history that may or may not be specifically covered in a HST course.
• HST courses enable students to learn research and studying skills—the ability to inquire about, find, and integrate information—that are the core of the discipline.
• HST courses are representative and not comprehensive.
• Students have primary responsibility to use HST courses as a foundation for their career preparations, not as a substitute.
• Success on the MTTC exams requires additional study that applies the knowledge and skills learned in HST courses to exam preparation.
