Ohio's State Tests assess your understanding of the learning targets in the social studies standards.
What is the format of the assessment?
- You will take the assessment online using a computer with a web browser.
- There are two parts to the assessment. Part 1 will have about 12 items worth 20 points. Part 2 is worth 44 points.
What types of questions are on the assessment?
- Questions include multiple choice, enhanced selected response (multiple correct answers), and constructed response (graphic response and text entry).
- A graphic-response question requires you to move objects using a computer mouse to answer the question. This type of question may have a map, chart or graph, picture, or a diagram in which you position the objects correctly.
- Evidence-based sets require you to work with primary source materials to show deep understanding of social studies topics. The questions in these sets will assess a range of skills and content in the content statements.
How can students prepare the assessment?
- The best way to prepare for state assessments is to be active learner in class throughout the year. Pay attention to the learning targets given by your teacher and make sure you understand the "I can" statements.
