The OSTP begins testing students in Grade 3. This is the earliest grade level where assessments are conducted for subjects like English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics.
English Language Arts assessments are administered annually for Grades 3–8 and once in high school as part of the End-of-Instruction (EOI) exams.
The Grade 8 Mathematics assessment introduces algebraic concepts as students prepare for high school-level mathematics.
U.S. History is part of the End-of-Instruction (EOI) exams administered in high school, typically at Grade 11.
Advanced students in Grade 8 may take high school-level assessments like Algebra I, provided they are enrolled in the corresponding course.
