If you are a Primary PK-5 major, you must take OAEs 057 Professional Knowledge, 055 Content, and 190 Foundations of Reading. If you have already taken and passed ECE 001 Professional Knowledge and 090 Foundations of Reading, per the Ohio Department of Education, your passing scores for these two exams will be substituted for Primary Professional Knowledge 057 and 190 Foundations of Reading. If you have not previously passed ECE 001 or Foundations of Reading 090 exam, all currently enrolled Primary PK-5 students must take OAE exams 057, 055, and 190.
