The exams you have to pass
In the order most candidates take them.
CEOE Oklahoma General Education Test (OGET)174
Every Oklahoma candidate takes this, whatever the subject.
CEOE OSAT Physical Education/Health/Safety112
CEOE Assessment of Professional Knowledge053 or 054
Elementary is 053 and secondary is 054. Oklahoma does not publish which applies to a PK-12 field like this one.
One thing to confirm before you register
Physical Education/Health/Safety is a PK-12 field, and Oklahoma publishes an Assessment of Professional Knowledge for Elementary (053) and one for Secondary (054) without saying which one a PK-12 candidate takes. Ask before you register, because the wrong one costs you the fee and the test date.
Ask
Oklahoma State Department of Education, Teacher Certification, or your preparation program
TeacherCertification@sde.ok.gov or 405-521-3337
What people get wrong
Each of these costs a candidate either money or a test date.
- The OGET and the OSAT pass at 240, but the Assessment of Professional Knowledge passes at 220.
- Oklahoma changed the professional education requirement to the Assessment of Professional Knowledge on 3 June 2025. Guidance published before that date names the older assessment.
Required, but not an exam
- A bachelor’s degree
- An accredited teacher preparation program, traditional or alternative
- Background check and application through the Oklahoma State Department of Education
Now go pass them.
