About the Ohio's State Tests

Ohio's State Tests, branded OST, are administered by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce. Math items align to Ohio's Learning Standards in Mathematics, which Ohio revised from its initial Common Core adoption in 2010. Ohio rebrands the standards as state-owned, but content overlap with CCSS-M remains very high in K-8. Since 2019 the OST has been online-first for all districts that have the technology infrastructure, with paper accommodations available only for students with documented needs.

Math OST forms include multiple choice, multi-select, equation editor, drag-and-drop, and short constructed response items. The test is fixed-form, not adaptive. Ohio reports five performance levels, with Proficient as the ESSA target and Accelerated and Advanced indicating students are exceeding grade-level expectations. Briveli practice for Ohio tracks the OST blueprint published annually by ODEW: fraction reasoning and multi-step problem solving in grades 3-5, ratios and proportional reasoning in grades 6-7, and functions and bivariate data in grade 8.
