Ohio Graduation Test (OGT)

The purpose of the Ohio Graduation Test OGT are to ensure that students who receive a high school diploma demonstrate at least high school levels of achievement, and meet federal requirement for high school testing. Students take the OGT for the first time in March of their sophomore (second) year in high school, but have six additional opportunities (including an optional summer administration) to pass all parts of the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT), which is required in order to graduate. The test consists of sections on reading, math, writing, science and social studies sections. While the Ohio Department of Education began administering practice tests to students in 2002, the first official Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) was given in fall 2004. The tests include multiple-choice (one point), short-answer (two points), and extended response (four points) questions. The non-writing sections consist of 44 items (some of which are "field test" questions which are used for research and do not count toward a student's score). The writing test consists of two essays and several multiple-choice questions.
