Ohio's State Tests measure Ohio's Learning Standards. Students take English language arts and math every year in grades 3-8 and science in grades 5 and 8. High school students take end-of-course tests, and two of them, Algebra I and ELA II, are tied to graduation.
Ohio's State Tests (OST), run by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce.
Tests are online by default; districts may choose paper for grade 3, and paper is otherwise used for accommodations. Each test is given in two parts with a time limit, for example 150 minutes for grade 3 math. Spring testing for grades 3-8 runs from late March into May, with each school using 15 consecutive school days in the window, and EOC tests are also offered in fall and summer.
To graduate, students need a competency score on the Algebra I and ELA II end-of-course tests, or an alternative demonstration after at least one retake. Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee also uses the grade 3 ELA test: a qualifying score on the ELA test, or on its reading subscore, means a student can be promoted to grade 4.

Make a worksheet βPractice tests and quizzes that mix the question types students will see, with answer keys, ready to print or share.
Make a practice test βIn the parent-managed study portal, students practice in the real test style with hints, while parents keep answers behind a PIN.
See the study portal βTwo moments matter most in Ohio: the grade 3 ELA test, which is linked to the Third Grade Reading Guarantee, and the Algebra I and ELA II end-of-course tests in high school. Extended writing is worth a lot of points, so practice writing a full, organized response to a text. The study portal generates Ohio-style reading passages with writing prompts and math practice, with answers behind your parent PIN.
Use the test generator for practice aligned to Ohio's Learning Standards: selected response, a 10-point style extended writing prompt with a scoring guide, and math with worked answers. Build Algebra I and ELA II review packets for students working toward the competency score.
