How many questions are on the MEGA?
The number of questions on your exam will depend on which MEGA test you are taking. Check out your test below to find out how many questions you’ll be answering on your exam.
MEGA Paraprofessional Test
The MEGA Paraprofessional test has 90 questions.
MEP
The Missouri Educator Profile, or MEP, has 192 survey questions.
MoGEA
The Missouri General Education Assessment, or MoGEA, includes four different subtests: Reading Comprehension and Interpretation, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies, and Writing. The subtests can be taken together or separately. The Reading Comprehension and Interpretation subtest has 39 questions. The Mathematics subtest has 40 questions. The Science and Social Studies subtest has 40 questions, and the Writing subtest has one written assignment.
The Science and Social Studies subtest (069) is no longer a testing requirement for educator preparation program admission, so you must only pass the other three subtests to pass the MoGEA.
Missouri Content Assessments
The Missouri Content Assessments are subject-specific tests, and the number of questions varies from test to test.
Most of the Missouri Content Assessments have either 80 or 100 questions, with a few exceptions: the World Languages Content Assessments (Chinese –– Mandarin, French, German, and Spanish) also include a written question and a speaking question, along with multiple-choice questions. The Superintendent Content Assessment includes two written assignments along with 80 multiple-choice questions. The Elementary Education Multi-Content test is made up of four subtests with 40 questions each.
