OSAT Art (102)

It is offered as a computer-based test and as an online-proctored test. Each administration contains 80 selected-response questions and 1 constructed-response assignment, and the passing score is 240. No reference materials are provided, so plan to work from memory and analysis.

Yes. Computer-based testing gives a 4 hours and 15 minutes total appointment, including 15 minutes for the tutorial and nondisclosure agreement, leaving 4 hours of testing time. Online proctoring gives a 3 hours and 15 minutes appointment with 3 hours of testing time.

At a test center you may take restroom breaks, but the time counts against your available testing time. Under online proctoring, no breaks are allowed at all. If you need breaks, the test-center option is the safer choice.

It is one assignment among 81 scored tasks, so it carries real weight, and it must be written rather than selected. Practice timed analytical writing about works, processes, and instruction, and use the preparation materials and tutorials posted for this test to learn the expected response format.

Computer-based testing is by appointment year-round, Monday through Saturday excluding some holidays, at sites in Oklahoma and nationwide. Online proctoring is by appointment with a proctor during one-week testing windows each month, and you may test remotely, including from home, if you meet the system and environment requirements.

The test fee is $118. The source material for this page does not state a retake policy or waiting period, so check the current CEOE policies and registration pages before rescheduling rather than relying on secondhand claims about retakes.

Start with the test framework and study guide for Art (102), then work through sample questions to find weak areas. Add the interactive practice test, and rehearse the constructed-response assignment under the 4-hour or 3-hour testing time you will actually have.

Underpreparing the written assignment, since most practice time goes to selected-response items, is a frequent problem. Others include choosing online proctoring without checking system and environment requirements, and forgetting that online proctoring allows no breaks and one hour less testing time.

Not necessarily. Tests may include questions being evaluated for future administrations, and those do not affect your score. Answer every question anyway; you cannot identify which items are unscored, and unanswered items still cost you time and confidence.
