About the Tests
- In 2010-2011 Ohio used the Ohio Achievement Test (OAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science.
- The OAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Ohio.
- The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
