About the Ohio’s State Tests — Algebra 1 End-of-Course (OST)
In Ohio, the Ohio’s State Tests — Algebra 1 End-of-Course (OST) is the standard assessment for Algebra 1 students. Given March–May, it evaluates skills from the Ohio’s Learning Standards: Mathematics (OLS).
The Algebra 1 OST tests students on foundations of algebra, linear equations & inequalities, introduction to functions, linear functions & graphing, systems of equations & inequalities, and more. Questions include multiple-choice, short-answer, and sometimes performance-based items.
ViewMath practice tests are crafted to mirror the real OST — from question formats to difficulty level, so students are fully prepared.
