Mathematics Test for
English Language Learners (MTELL) Item Samplers
MTELL Item Samplers are used to familiarize students and staff with the item types, format and content of the computer-delivered MTELL. An item sampler is not a complete test. It contains fewer items than students will see in a full-length test. Item Samplers should not be used to predict how well students will do on the tests. However, students may feel more comfortable taking the MTELL if they have reviewed the Item Samplers prior to the test.

The MTELL Item Samplers Teacher’s Guide contains the answer key and the strand, sub-strand and benchmark information for each sample item. Please Note: This is an updated version of the MTELL Teacher’s Guide. The ONLY updates were to the Answer Key for Grade 11 Part 2.

Note: Before downloading the Item Samplers, you will need to download and install the Item Sampler Launcher. Choose the Mac or PC download below. This is a one-time only download. The software will work with all item samplers.
