ReadTheory provides online OST practice for students.
The Ohio State Tests (OST) are standardized assessments administered to students across the state to evaluate their proficiency in core academic subjects. Students in grades 3 through 8 take annual tests in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, with additional Science assessments in grades 5 and 8. High school students are required to take end-of-course exams in subjects including ELA II, Algebra I, Geometry, Biology, American History, and American Government. These assessments are aligned with Ohio’s Learning Standards and are designed to measure students’ mastery of grade-level content.
If you’re wondering how to prepare for state tests, ReadTheory’s practice passages help students build ELA skills and gain confidence for the OST assessment in grades 3-8. By building reading comprehension skills and tackling multiple-choice questions in an engaging way, ReadTheory gives students the test-taking strategies and personalized study support they need to boost their test readiness and improve their scores.
Yes! Getting started is easy. Deploy the pre-test to your students, identify critical reading proficiency gaps, and get comprehensive feedback in real-time.
Most importantly, eliminate test anxiety, and even make it (dare we say) FUN with competitions and badges. With the right preparation, the OST is an opportunity for your students to show off what they know.
