- Legacy structure was 39 reading questions, 40 math questions, 40 science/social studies questions, and 1 writing assignment
- Legacy fee was $59 for all four subtests or $25 for one subtest

- As of March 7, 2026, the official site says MoGEA is no longer administered and MoGEA 081 is postponed
MEGA MOGEA Missouri Educator Gateway Assessments
Current status: The official Missouri MEGA site says the legacy MoGEA (066-069) is no longer administered, and the newer consolidated MoGEA (081) is postponed with registration closed.
This guide is built around the last active public MoGEA blueprint because that is still the clearest official source for the academic skills Missouri programs historically expected:
- Reading Comprehension and Interpretation
- Mathematics
- Science and Social Studies
- Writing

What Changed
Two policy facts matter most for 2026 planning:
- The official notice says Science and Social Studies (069) is no longer required for educator-preparation admission.
- The official test pages now say the old Missouri Educator Gateway Assessments are no longer being administered.
There is also a newer MoGEA (081) page on the Pearson Missouri site, but that page currently says implementation has been postponed.
That means the highest-value prep is still the core academic skill set: careful reading, controlled writing, quantitative reasoning, and evidence evaluation.
