Release of Spring 2019 Ohio’s State Tests Items
A release of items from the spring 2019 Ohio’s State Tests in Social Studies now is available in the Ohio’s State Test portal. These items give educators insight into the kinds of questions students experienced, and they are a useful tool to inform classroom instruction. Both teachers and parents may use this resource to help students know what to expect.
Included with each released item are the associated learning standard(s) and scoring rubric. Examples of student responses also are available to illustrate actual work and the corresponding points earned on the student examples.
Updated English/Spanish Bilingual Version Practice and Released Items
An English/Spanish bilingual version is available for practice tests and released test questions in all Ohio’s State Tests in mathematics, science and social studies. (English language arts items are not translated.) Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, there is now a unique new toggle function that replaces the stacked form format of the bilingual test. The new toggle function allows students to switch between English and Spanish forms at the push of a button. When toggling between languages, the testing system maintains all student responses, as well as the approximate place on the page. Beginning with the fall 2019 test administration, the unique toggle function will be available for all bilingual test forms. To afford students an opportunity to use the new toggle function, all practice tests and released test questions in all Ohio’s State Tests in mathematics, science and social studies will be updated to include the new toggle function. The new toggle function will be available for use in the Ohio’s State Test portal at the end of August.
The half-length practice tests have been updated to reflect the 2017 Ohio’s Learning Standards for Social Studies. Updated half-length practice tests are available for each of the state tests. Practice test items allow students to become familiar with the online test environment by showcasing the different item types, features and functionality available to students during online testing.
