Olsat® Test
The Otis-Lennon School Ability Test® (OLSAT®) is published by Pearson NNC. The OLSAT® is extensively used throughout the United States as an entry screening test for gifted programs. It is administered to students from pre-K through 12th grade.
The OLSAT assesses reasoning abilities with various types of verbal, nonverbal, figurative, and quantitative reasoning questions.
Each test is divided into two types of primary questions: verbal and nonverbal.
There are different types of questions: picture analogies, figural analogies, picture classification, figural classification, pattern matrices. The total number of questions ranges from 40 to 72, and the time limit varies from 60 to 77 minutes.
For younger children, Pre-K through 1st grade, the OLSAT is often administered individually. Older children usually take the test in a group setting.
Hard questions are followed by easier ones and vice versa, to prevent your child from being discouraged.
The test consists of seven levels:
Level A – Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten
Level B – 1st Grade
Level C – 2nd Grade
Level D – 3rd Grade
Level E – 4th and 5th Grades
Level F – 6th, 7th and 8th Grades
Level G – 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th Grades
Not all levels include the same types of questions. Pictorial and verbal reasoning and following directions are for levels A through C. Levels D through G are more focused on analogies, quantitative reasoning, patterns, and making logical choices.
