NES Elementary Education exam requirements & cost

Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.

Eligibility
There is no single national eligibility rule: the state or program that requires the NES decides who must test, which subtests apply and what standard counts as passing
Real exam cost
The NES fee is set per program and was not read for tests 110 and 111, so none is quoted; check the NES registration page for your state
Format
Two computer-based subtests · about 75 multiple-choice questions each · 135-minute appointment each · scaled scores 100-300 per subtest

NES Elementary Education has two subtests: Subtest I (110) with about 75 multiple-choice questions on Reading and English Language Arts (60%) and Social Studies (40%), and Subtest II (111) with about 75 questions on Mathematics (43%), Science (43%) and the Arts, Health and Fitness (14%). Each subtest is scored separately on a 100 to 300 scale, and passing is judged against the standard of the state on the date you test; Pearson states that the passing score may vary across states. This portal's practice mock has 150 questions covering both subtests. Each subtest is scored separately on a scale of 100 to 300. There is no single national cut score: Pearson states that the passing score may vary across states and is judged against your state's standard on the test date. A National Benchmark of 220 appears on some score reports but does not decide passing status. Fees are set per program and the catalog entry for tests 110 and 111 does not list an amount, so none is quoted here. The content outline spreads questions across 14 areas; the largest are Reading and English Language Arts: Foundations of Language Development and Emergent Literacy (7.5%); Reading and English Language Arts: Phonics, Spelling, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Reading Comprehension (7.5%); Reading and English Language Arts: Literary, Informational, Persuasive, and Functional Texts and Graphic Sources (7.5%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. There is no single national eligibility rule: the state or program that requires the NES decides who must test, which subtests apply and what standard counts as passing.
