Taking and Passing the MoGEA
The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has implemented a testing policy whereby:
Candidates have one opportunity to register to take all four subtests in one test session.
Candidates may register to take each subtest independently.
The one-time option to take all four subtests in one test session applies only to the internet-based version of the assessment that is administered at a test center. The subtests for the online-proctored version of this assessment are administered in separate testing sessions; therefore, candidates must register for each subtest separately.
