ORELA Elementary Education (NT102)

NT102 is Elementary Education Subtests I and II, listed in the ORELA table of National Evaluation Series™ tests. It is aimed at candidates seeking an Oregon teaching license at the elementary level. Testing requirements depend on licensure type, so read the ORELA guidance on which tests are required for a teaching license in Oregon before you schedule.

Confirm this before paying. ORELA announced on 4/9/25 that several National Evaluation Series™ tests will no longer be available for registration through the ORELA program after August 28, 2025, and the announcement does not identify which tests are affected. Check the linked announcement and the current test list.

The ORELA program materials describe the assessment as two subtests, Elementary Education Subtests I and II, delivered as National Evaluation Series™ tests. The source pages do not state the number of questions or the time limit; those details sit on the individual test page, reached by selecting the test from the ORELA test table.

The program publishes no difficulty or pass-rate data, so treat claims about difficulty with suspicion. The most common practical failure is preparation misalignment: studying generic elementary content instead of the official test framework, or skipping the expanded study guide and full-length practice test that ORELA lists as preparation materials for your test.

Start from the official test page for NT102 and its preparation materials, then work through the expanded study guide to map the content you will be tested on. Take the full-length practice test to find weak areas, and revisit the study guide on those areas. If a practice test is available when you register, it is provided automatically at no additional cost.

Yes. ORELA announced on 10/10/23 that online proctoring is now available, so you can test remotely, including from home. Test dates and sites, including online options, are listed on the individual test page you reach by selecting Elementary Education Subtests I and II from the ORELA test table.

ORELA lists alternative testing arrangements as a quick link under Prospective Candidates. Request them through that channel rather than assuming a remote appointment covers your needs, and allow time before your preferred test date. The program pages do not state specific deadlines or documentation requirements, so confirm details there.

Use the Register link on the ORELA site to start online registration. The program pages do not publish the NT102 fee, so check the registration flow or the test page for the current amount. Vouchers that provide full or partial credit toward registration fees are available to state education agencies and educator preparation programs, not directly to candidates.

Score reports and your testing history are accessed through the Scores link, and retake and score-reporting rules are under Policies. The program pages do not state a score-reporting timeframe or a retake waiting period, so read the Policies section before scheduling a second attempt.

It depends on your program. ORELA announced on 10/10/23 that the requirement to take and pass the Protecting Student and Civil Rights in the Educational Environment assessment was revised: some educator preparation providers meet it through coursework and others require passage. Check with your EPP to determine your institution's requirement.
