In-State Test Areas

Refer to the following table to select a test area. To obtain more information about testing in greater Boston, select "Boston Test Areas Map" on the MTEL web site at www.mtel.nesinc.com.

When registering for the MTEL, indicate your test area choice. Your specific test site will be determined based on availability and appropriateness of facilities for test administration and will be within the area listed but not necessarily within the actual city limits. Register as early as possible to increase your chances of being assigned to a test site within your first-choice area. When registering by mail, be sure to select a second-choice test area in case space is not available at a test site within your first-choice area.
