CEOE Passing Requirements

Minimum passing scores for all CEOE tests were established by the OCTP based on recommendations of panels of Oklahoma educators. The scaled minimum passing score for each test is designed to reflect the level of knowledge and skills required for effective performance in Oklahoma schools. Your pass/fail status on a CEOE test is based on your performance on the total test at a single test administration. You cannot combine results on sections of a test across test administrations.

If you are taking OSAT Elementary Education, you must achieve a passing score on each of the two Elementary Education subtests in order to receive certification. If you do not receive a passing score on both subtests at a single test administration, however, you may bank a passing score on one subtest for up to two years from the test date on which the subtest was passed.

You will receive a total score for each test taken. Total test scores are reported as scaled scores using a range from 100 to 300, with 240 as the minimum passing scaled score. For tests with constructed-response assignments, your total test score is based on your performance on the entire test, including the number of selected-response questions you answer correctly and the scores you receive on your responses to any constructed-response assignments (see "Program Overview" for descriptions of the tests).

More detailed information regarding test section weightings and how to read your score report is available by selecting "Score Reporting" on the CEOE Web site.

Retaking the CEOE

An individual may retake a test as many times as necessary to pass. Examinees who wish to retake a test may do so by submitting a new registration and payment. Please refer to "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for additional information about retaking paper-based tests on consecutive test dates. Note that individuals who take a computer-based CEOE test must wait 120 days before retaking the same test on computer.
