ORELA update posted April 9, 2025
For 2026 prep, the clearest current ORELA generalist anchor is Elementary Education Subtests I and II: 75 selected-response questions on each subtest, 90 minutes for Subtest I, 105 minutes for Subtest II, $95 per subtest or $165 combined, and a 220 scaled passing score on each subtest. Official NES profile pages weight Subtest I at 62% Reading and English Language Arts and 38% Social Studies, while Subtest II is weighted 50% Mathematics, 38% Science, and 12% Art/Health/Fitness. As of March 7, 2026, I did not find an official 2026 redesign notice for this route, but ORELA’s April 9, 2025 update retired several science-related NES tests and Elementary Education Subtest III after August 31, 2025, and TSPC’s civil-rights/ethics requirement now depends on the candidate pathway.
About the ORELA Exam
ORELA is Oregon’s educator-testing program, not one single exam. This practice bank is anchored to the current Elementary Education Subtests I and II route because it is the broadest live generalist elementary-content blueprint on the official ORELA Tests page, covering reading and language arts, social studies, mathematics, science, and arts/health/fitness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ORELA one exam?
No. ORELA is Oregon’s overall educator-licensure assessment program, and different licensure routes use different tests. This practice bank is anchored to Elementary Education Subtests I and II because they are the broadest current general elementary-content tests still listed on the official ORELA Tests page.
How many questions are on the ORELA elementary route used here?
The official Elementary Education Subtests I and II page lists 75 selected-response questions on Subtest I and 75 selected-response questions on Subtest II, for 150 total. Official testing time is 90 minutes for Subtest I and 105 minutes for Subtest II.
What passing score do I need?
The current official passing standard is a scaled score of 220 on each subtest. Oregon candidates should think in terms of passing both Subtest I and Subtest II rather than chasing one combined raw-score target.
How much does ORELA cost in 2026?
The official ORELA elementary test page lists $95 for a single subtest or $165 when you register for both subtests together. Always confirm the live total before checkout in case Pearson updates fees.
What changed in 2025 and 2026 for ORELA?
ORELA posted an April 9, 2025 update stating that General Science (311), Middle Grades General Science (312), Biology (305), Chemistry (306), Physics (308), and Elementary Education Subtest III (104) were offered only through August 31, 2025. As of March 7, 2026, I did not find an official redesign notice for Elementary Education Subtests I and II, but Oregon candidates do need to verify their current TSPC testing pathway because some requirements shifted away from older standalone tests.
Do I still need the ORELA Protecting Student and Civil Rights assessment?
Not every Oregon candidate now satisfies that requirement the same way. TSPC’s current Protecting Student and Civil Rights / Ethics page says many candidates meet the requirement through approved educator-preparation coursework or TSPC Workday learning modules, so you should confirm your exact route in the latest TSPC testing guide before registering for extra exams.
What content matters most for this practice bank?
Reading and English Language Arts is the largest official subarea at 62% of Subtest I, and Mathematics is the largest on Subtest II at 50%. Science is also substantial at 38% of Subtest II, while Social Studies remains important at 38% of Subtest I. Art, Health, and Fitness is smaller at 12%, but it still appears often enough to deserve a targeted review block.
