What field 134 weighs
Assessing and Addressing Students' Strengths and Needs is 43% of the test. Understanding Human Development, Diversity, and Learning and Working in the Professional Environment are 21% apiece. The 48 questions here split 24, 12 and 12; the framework was opened on October 15, 2026.
Where the Oklahoma questions come from
Competency 0009 is the psychometrist's role in Oklahoma. Twenty-seven questions rest on the state's Special Education Policies and Procedures of 2026: the Review of Existing Data, the ten school days for consent, the eligibility group, and each category's score rules.
The case study
The last 15% is a written case study: from assessment data, name a student's academic strength and need, the special education categories whose criteria are met, and one academic recommendation. No question here practices that writing.
With a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, two standard deviations below the mean is 70; one and a half is 77.5.
