 * =MTLE-Similar Reading Passages= || The best strategy to practice for the test is to find reading passages as similar to the MTLE as possible. Here are some on-line:
 * Georgia's Teacher Credential Basic Skills test (the GACE): Practice Questions for the GACE Basic Skills Reading test (Georgia Assessment of Educators).
 * The Michigan Teacher Exam: Pages 2-13 to 2-16 (the Sample Reading Section and questions on "The Road to Civil Rights" is almost identical in format to the MTLE Reading test
 * The Michigan Teacher Exam: Pages 2-13 to 2-16 (the Sample Reading Section and questions on "The Road to Civil Rights" is almost identical in format to the MTLE Reading test
 * The Pennsylvania Educator Certification Test (practice test) -- NOTE TO MDE: Pennsylvania provides a full-length practice test free and open ... less ka-ching but considerably more useful and transparent ... this is a nice practice test because the reading section are about the same difficulty ... and hit more or less the same objectives ... but are a little shorter with fewer questions.

The CBEST (the Basic Skills test for the California teacher license) is also fairly different ... the passages are easier and shorter and more varied -- and the objectives and questions are different. (One interesting thing about the CBEST, though, is the computer version's testing environment. You can download and run a version on your own computer. It's kind of a hassle but it's almost worth because it is the most horrible testing computer testing environment I've ever experienced. ||
