Assess the Abilities that Relate to Success in School
Click here for brochure
To learn new things, students must be able to perceive accurately, to recognize and recall what has been perceived, to think logically, to perceive relationships, to abstract from a set of particulars, and to apply a generalization to new and different contexts. By evaluating a student’s performance on a variety of tasks, OLSAT 8 assesses those abilities that are related to success in school. Tasks such as detecting likenesses and differences, recalling words and numbers, defining words, following directions, classifying, establishing sequence, solving arithmetic problems, and completing analogies are included in OLSAT 8 since they have been shown to be valid measures of an individual’s ability to reason logically.
Recognized for Technical Excellence
OLSAT 8 has new norms achieved through representative standardization samples. Furthermore, specialized statistical procedures and a comprehensive review of all test items by a panel of minority-group educators helped minimize ethnic, gender, cultural, or regional bias on the new OLSAT.
With new items and new norms, the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test, Eighth Edition is the latest addition to a distinguished series of tests first authored by Arthur S. Otis and Roger T. Lennon in 1936.
Through the years, OLSAT has gained the confidence of educators nationwide who want to assess the unique abilities each student brings to the learning process. The new OLSAT continues this tradition of excellence.
