Testing

State Testing
The administration of the Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP) takes place from April 1 to May 3, 2019, for students in grades 3-8 and 11. Depending on their grade level, students will take as few as two and as many as three OSTP exams over the course of the testing window. The OSTP tests are required of all students who are enrolled in an Oklahoma public school. The Oklahoma State Department of Education penalizes school districts that do not test 95 percent or more of their students on each and every administered OSTP test. You can see the state testing schedule here. 

If you have any questions concerning OSTP testing, please contact the principal of your child’s school.


Other Testing Information
 

Supporting Your Children During State Testing
Many parents wonder how they can support their children before and during state testing time. You can find tips and advice here and here.

Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP)
These state-mandated tests assess students' mastery of the Oklahoma Academic Standards (OAS), Oklahoma’s legislatively mandated curriculum. The tests assess all students in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11. The tests measure student performance relative to the specific content and skills of OAS. For further information, please check http://sde.ok.gov/sde/oklahoma-academic-standards

Reading Sufficiency Tests
The Reading Sufficiency Act requires districts to assess students in grades K-3 in order to identify those who will need additional instruction to reach grade level expectations. Results of this testing are shared with parents and guardians.

Pre-ACT 
 
A program funded by Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education for all 10th graders, the Pre-ACT provides students with information needed to prepare for future academic and career success. It also provides an estimated range of the ACT Assessment composite scores. The results of the Pre-ACT assessment provide schools with information for program evaluation, accreditation, guidance and student career planning.  A link for more information about the Pre-ACT can be found here.

Colleges require an entrance exam score (ACT or SAT) for admission.  Most colleges and universities in the midwest lean towards an ACT score but either is usually accepted.  Always look into the admission requirements for any university you are interested in attending. Click here to learn about the key differences between the ACT and SAT.

 

ACT

The ACT will be administered to all 11th graders as part of the OSTP testing program to assess reading and math skills.  The test will be offered at Shawnee High School at no charge during the spring semester of 2019.
