Test Day
In-person Testing
On the day of the exam, you should arrive at the testing center about 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled appointment to allow extra time for the check-in process. When you arrive, you will be asked to sign in and present a valid form of photo ID to the proctor.
Personal items are not allowed in the testing room, so they must be stored in a secure locker outside the testing area. This includes your cell phone, keys, wallet, and any accessories.
Just before the exam starts, you will be given a brief tutorial on the testing system. You will also be given everything you need to work out any calculations by hand (no calculator will be provided).
Remote Testing
On the day of the exam, you should log into your testing account about 30 minutes prior to the scheduled appointment time. The proctor will ask you to show a valid form of government-issued photo ID, and they will ask you to scan your surroundings using your webcam.
Once your exam begins, you cannot leave the webcam view, take breaks, or talk to yourself. Your focus must be on the exam, and other people must be out of your testing space while you take the exam.
Should the proctor determine that you are not following the guidelines for remote proctoring, your exam can be canceled, and your registration fees forfeited.
How the OGET is Scored
Your OGET score is determined by taking your raw score (the number of questions you answered correctly) and converting it to a scaled score. To pass, you will need to get a minimum scaled score of 240.
You will receive your official score report within four weeks after testing.
