Subtest 1 (150): reading and language arts
By the framework read October 15, 2026, Subtest 1 has 52 selected-response questions: Reading is 55% of the subtest and Language Arts 30%. A written assignment on reading is the other 15% and is not practiced here. Of this bank's 26 Subtest 1 questions, 17 are on reading and 9 on language arts.
Subtest 2 (151): social studies, mathematics, science, health and the arts
Subtest 2 has 66 selected-response questions and no writing: Social Studies 26%, Mathematics 31%, Science 28%, Health/Fitness and the Arts 15%. This bank gives it 34: 9, 10, 10 and 5. Each subtest is scored and passed on its own.
Oklahoma requires a pass on both subtests for the elementary license, and a passing score on one is banked until the other is passed.
Questions and answers
Is there a CEOE test called Elementary Education K-6?
Not by that name. The CEOE test list has Elementary Education Subtests 1 and 2, fields 150 and 151, with no grade span in the title. These questions follow that test's framework.
How many questions are on the OSAT Elementary Education test?
Subtest 1 has 52 selected-response questions and one constructed-response assignment; Subtest 2 has 66 selected-response questions. A test center allows 4 hours for one or both subtests. An online proctor allows 3 hours for each, in separate sessions.
What is the passing score for OSAT Elementary Education?
240 on each subtest, by the test page. Subtest 1's score also takes in its written assignment on reading, so a count of right answers on this page does not convert to either scaled score.
Is this CEOE elementary education practice test free?
Yes, and nothing asks you to sign up. All 60 questions were written for this page; none comes from the real subtests, the study guide's samples or the official practice test.
