MLA-C02 replaced MLA-C01 (English) on 29 September 2026 and is in beta until the standard version, expected early 2027. The beta has 85 questions in 170 minutes for USD 75; the exam guide describes the standard exam as 50 scored plus 15 unscored items. Scaled scoring 100–1,000, compensatory. Multiple choice and multiple response only — the ordering and matching items of MLA-C01 are gone.
