The Multistate Performance Test is a standardized test which means it is created and graded based on formulas and patterns. A Short & Happy Guide to the MPT teaches students how to take advantage of this by identifying the basic underlying formulas on which every MPT is constructed and the standard performance expectations. It then shows students how to develop a set of standard strategies, create a process for approaching any MPT, and accurately assess their performance.

A Short & Happy Guide to the MPT not only identifies what skills are tested, but how they are tested, and how students can demonstrate mastery of those skills. By learning the formula, developing an efficient and effective approach that comports with performance expectations, students will be prepared to score high on any MPT and no problem will take them by surprise.
