I was wondering if anyone knew if these two exams were similar-MTEL 56 and 54? I from Scotland recently moved and getting certified and am unsure of the difference! I have the study guide for ESL 54 but can't find one for 56? Any information would be great! Thanks

Your questions are all over the map. If you applied for a preliminary license, there are specific requirements that you need to satisfy. I believe these are:
a) Pass the MTEL Reading /Writing Test (everyone needs to take/pass this) b) Pass a MTEL subject test(s) in area(s) that you want to teach in. c) Have a Bachelor's degree in a area that is exact or close to subject area that you want to teach in. For example, if you want to teach Biology, a degree in any life/physical science would probably suffice.
As far as your transcript, they only care that you have a complete, valid BS degree from a recognized/accredited college.
