Qualifying Score
Due to the impacts of COVID-19, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is implementing an interim passing status for the new Bilingual Education test. During this interim period, candidates will earn a status of "Met the Minimum Requirement" or "Did Not Meet the Minimum Requirement" based on correctly responding to a minimum of 61% of the multiple-choice questions. Candidates who earn a status of "Met the Minimum Requirement" have met the testing requirement for the Bilingual Education Endorsement. An updated passing score requirement will be set by DESE at a later date.

Note that after this break you will begin the open-response assignments and you will no longer have access to the multiple-choice questions.
