Bilingual Target Language Proficiency Test (BTLPT) Spanish (190)

The reporting timeline has been adjusted for three exam administrations of the Bilingual Target Language Proficiency Test (BTLPT) Spanish (190) in June, July, and August 2022. Pearson is implementing internal systems updates for 190 that require a 7-day extension in the reporting period for only these three administrations. The adjustment does not apply to any other 190 administrations or to any other exam in the Texas Educator Certification Examination Program. The adjusted reporting dates for the June, July, and August 2022 exam administrations are available in the BTLPT Spanish score reporting table.
