How the Oregon knowledge test is scored

Understand Oregon knowledge-test scoring, how to use the 28-out-of-35 target, and how to prepare with multilingual practice sets.

Key takeaways

• Treat 28 correct out of 35 as the minimum target, not the comfort target. A higher practice score leaves room for test-day nerves.
• A full-length set is useful only if you review the misses afterward. The learning comes from the explanation and handbook follow-up.
• If one category repeatedly pulls your score down, switch to topic mode before taking another full mixed set.
• Track progress over several sets instead of judging yourself by a single score. Stable accuracy matters more than one spike.
