Middle Grades English 5–9 (014)
The Middle Grades English 5–9 subject area examination is divided into two sections: a multiple-choice section and a written performance section. Each section is independently administered, scored, and reported. Any unused time on one section cannot be used toward the other section. Once you complete a section and proceed to the next section, you cannot return to the previous section. You must pass both sections independently in order to pass the Middle Grades English 5–9 subject area examination.
