OGET Practice Questions (2026) — Free Sample Questions with Answers

Answer: B

It relies on emotional language instead of any example at all: Wrong. The letter does give an example. The problem is that the example is far too small to support the conclusion.

It draws a broad conclusion from a very small, unrepresentative sample: Correct. This is a hasty generalization: three players quitting one program cannot show that all city youth sports are failing.

It attacks the character of the program's coaches instead of the facts: Wrong. That would be an ad hominem attack, and the letter does not criticize anyone's character.

It assumes that one event must have caused a later, unrelated event: Wrong. That describes a post hoc (false cause) fallacy. The main flaw here is overgeneralizing from too little evidence.

Check whether the evidence is sufficient and representative. A few anecdotes cannot support a sweeping claim (hasty generalization).

Answer: B

Rail lines closed across Oklahoma as farming became mechanized.: Wrong. This is a supporting detail about why the old anchors disappeared, not the paragraph's central point.

Thriving rural towns have replaced lost economic anchors with new ones.: Correct. The paragraph moves from old anchors to their loss to new anchors in growing towns. The main idea is that growth depends on finding a new anchor.

Community colleges are the most important institution in small towns.: Wrong. Colleges are one of three examples. The paragraph does not rank them as most important.

Grain elevators were once common and familiar sights in Oklahoma's rural landscape.: Wrong. This is a detail from the first sentence. It does not cover the whole paragraph.

The main idea covers the whole passage. Details and single examples are too narrow, and claims the passage never makes are too broad.

Answer: D

8: Wrong. 8 is one of the two middle values. With an even number of values, the median is the mean of the two middle values.

10: Wrong. 10 is the other middle value. The median is halfway between 8 and 10.

13: Wrong. 13 is the mean (78 / 6), which the outlier 40 pulls upward.

9: Correct. The two middle values of the ordered data are 8 and 10, and (8 + 10) / 2 = 9.

For an even number of ordered values, the median is the average of the two middle values. The median resists outliers, and the mean does not.

Answer: C

x = -2: Wrong. This subtracts 5 and adds 7 incorrectly. Check: 3(-2) - 7 = -13, but 2(-2) + 5 = 1.

x = 2.4: Wrong. This divides 12 by 5, as if the x-terms were combined into 5x.

x = 12: Correct. Subtract 2x from both sides: x - 7 = 5. Add 7: x = 12. Check: 29 = 29.

x = -12: Wrong. The sign is wrong. Substituting -12 gives -43 on the left and -19 on the right.

Collect variable terms on one side and constants on the other, using inverse operations. Always check by substituting.

Answer: D

20%: Wrong. This divides the increase by the final value (100 / 500). Percent change uses the original value.

100%: Wrong. 100 is the absolute increase in card holders, not a percent.

125%: Wrong. 125% is the 2023 value as a percent of the 2019 value (500 / 400), not the percent increase.

25%: Correct. Percent change = (500 - 400) / 400 x 100 = 25%.

Percent change = (new - original) / original x 100. Don't confuse it with the ratio of new to original.

Answer: D

Personal finance is a topic that many people have opinions about.: Wrong. It takes no position and gives no direction for the essay.

This essay will discuss the topic of personal finance courses in Oklahoma high schools.: Wrong. It announces a topic without making an arguable claim.

Some schools have personal finance courses and others do not.: Wrong. This is a statement of fact, not a debatable position.

High schools should require personal finance because students need it now.: Correct. It takes a clear, arguable position and previews the main line of reasoning.

A strong thesis takes a clear, arguable position that answers the prompt and signals how the essay will support it.
