The OLSAT (Otis-Lennon School Ability Test)

What does the OLSAT measure? "The Otis Lennon School Abilities Test measures the cognitive abilities that relate to a student's ability to learn in school. By assessing students' thinking skills, the OLSAT 8 provides an understanding of a student's relative strengths and weaknesses in performing a variety of reasoning tasks. This information allows educators to design educational programs that will enhance students' strengths while supporting their learning needs. When administered with Stanford 10, OLSAT 8 scores may also be used to relate a student's actual achievement with his or her school ability." Harcourt Assessment, publisher of the OLSAT 8.

 

Subsections:  The OLSAT (Otis Lennon School Abilities Test) is composed of four components — verbal comprehension; verbal reasoning; figural reasoning, which measures nonverbal skills using pictograms; and quantitative reasoning.
