OLSAT | BJU Press Testing & Evaluation

Available year-round for grades 2-12, the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT) is offered only in combination with a Stanford Achievement Test.

The OLSAT is useful in revealing what to expect of a student and why a certain subject area may be challenging.

It is recommended to take the OLSAT every two or three years in conjunction with companion achievement tests. These results compare ability with actual school achievement.

Practice tests are available for the OLSAT.
