TExES CORE Subjects 4-8 What to Expect
The TExES Core Subjects 4-8 exam in its entirety consists of 200 multiple-choice questions: 74 questions on Domain 1, and 42 questions each on Domain 2, 3, and 4. The time for each domain depends on the number of questions (see right). The test is administered via computer. Because of this, there can be a variety in the style of questions that are asked.
You should expect to see three main types of questions: single-answer, stimulus-based, and cluster. You should expect most questions to require you simply to click an oval next to the correct answer. They may ask you to zoom in on details in a graphic or picture, click boxes next to all that apply, click on checkboxes, click on parts of a graphic or sentence, use a drag and drop feature, or select your answer from a drop-down menu.
