Read the full guide
What field 133 weighs
Meeting Individual, Group, and Schoolwide Needs is 42% of the test: assessment, data-based decisions, interventions, safe schools and research. Development, Learning, and Diversity is 26% and Professional Environment 17%. The 50 questions here fall 25, 15 and 10 (framework as opened October 15, 2026).
Oklahoma's own rules in the bank
Twenty-eight questions come from the State Department of Education's Special Education Policies and Procedures of 2026: the tiers of OKMTSS, universal screening, the limits on seclusion and corporal punishment, and the Tenth Circuit's two-part test for the least restrictive environment.
The case study
The last 15% is a written case study: synthesize assessment data and other information to identify a student's area of need, then design an asset-based, multicultural approach to meeting it. It is not practiced here.
The framework names the NASP PREPaRE model for crisis work: prevent and prepare, reaffirm, evaluate, provide and respond, examine.
