Introduction

The purpose of this practice test is to prepare students for the Otis-Lennon School

Ability Test (OLSAT) so that they will be familiar with the different types of questions

that will appear on the test. With the help of this practice test, students will learn to

follow a row across the page from left to right, to mark their answers properly, and to

change their answers if necessary. Understanding what to expect on the test will

improve your childs chances of success as well as help reduce his/her anxiety on test

day.

The OLSAT contains 60 questions (30 verbal and 30 nonverbal), and children are

allotted approximately one hour to complete the test. The sample test below contains

10 practice questions for the OLSAT Level A.

Directions

Read the questions below to your child. If you make a mistake in reading a question,

stop, and say, No that is wrong. Listen again.

Children should be allotted approximately one minute to answer the question after it

has been read. As this test is not scored, we recommend that students receive as

much assistance as necessary to correctly solve the questions.
