OpenExamPrep question bank

Use this bank for current Ohio State Tests and high school end-of-course readiness, not as a retired OGT clone. Current tested high school courses include ELA II, Algebra I, Geometry or Integrated Math I/II, Biology, American History, and American Government. Graduation competency is tied to 684 on ELA II and Algebra I or Integrated Math I unless an approved alternative pathway applies. Official EOC timing is generally 3 hours total per course, except ELA II at 3.5 hours total, and Ohio reports achievement with scale scores and performance levels.

Sample Ohio State Tests/EOC Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Ohio State Tests/EOC exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Read the sentence: Mia paused at the doorway, tightened her grip on the folder, and took a slow breath before entering. What can the reader most reasonably infer about Mia?
A.She has already finished the meeting
B.She feels nervous or wants to prepare herself
C.She is angry about carrying a folder
D.She cannot find the doorway
Explanation: Mia's pause, tightened grip, and slow breath are clues that she is controlling her emotions before entering. The inference is based on her actions rather than on a stated feeling.
2In the sentence, The committee chose a feasible plan for repairing the gym roof before winter, what does feasible most nearly mean?
A.possible to carry out
B.certain to fail
C.unrelated to the problem
D.kept secret from the public
Explanation: A feasible plan is one that can realistically be done. The context of repairing the roof before winter points to practicality and possibility.
3A paragraph explains that school gardens can provide fresh vegetables, teach biology concepts, and give students responsibility for shared work. Which title best captures the central idea?
A.The History of Cafeteria Tables
B.Why Some Plants Need Water
C.How School Gardens Support Learning
D.The Best Tools for Building Fences
Explanation: The paragraph focuses on several ways school gardens benefit students and learning. A good title should cover the whole central idea, not one unrelated detail.
4Which sentence provides the strongest evidence that a character is persistent?
A.Elena bought a blue notebook at the store
B.Elena revised her design six times after each trial failed
C.Elena noticed that the classroom clock was slow
D.Elena sat near the window during lunch
Explanation: Revising a design repeatedly after failure directly shows persistence. The other choices describe neutral actions that do not show continued effort toward a goal.
5Which sentence is written correctly?
A.The results of the experiment was surprising.
B.The result of the experiments were surprising.
C.The results of the experiment were surprising.
D.The results of the experiment is surprising.
Explanation: The subject is results, which is plural, so the verb should be were. The phrase of the experiment does not change the number of the subject.
6Which transition best completes the sentence? The team expected rain during the field study. ___, the sky cleared, and they collected all their data outdoors.
A.For example
B.However
C.In addition
D.Because of this
Explanation: The second sentence contrasts with the expectation of rain. However signals that the actual result was different from what the team expected.
7Read the sentence: The deadline crept toward us like a shadow across the floor. What does the simile suggest?
A.The deadline was a real object on the floor
B.The deadline seemed to approach slowly and steadily
C.The writers were standing outside at sunset
D.The floor was unsafe to walk on
Explanation: The comparison to a moving shadow suggests a slow but steady approach. The sentence uses figurative language to describe pressure from time, not a literal shadow deadline.
8An editorial argues that a city should add bus shelters because many riders wait outside in heavy rain and summer heat. Which sentence would best support the claim?
A.A transit survey found that 68 percent of riders wait more than ten minutes at stops without shelter
B.Some buses have advertisements on their sides
C.The city logo uses two colors
D.Several streets in the city were named long ago
Explanation: The claim is about the need for bus shelters, so evidence about riders waiting at unsheltered stops directly supports it. Strong support is specific, relevant, and measurable.
9Text 1 says after-school tutoring should be expanded because test scores improved for students who attended regularly. Text 2 says tutoring funds should instead pay for smaller class sizes. How do the arguments mainly differ?
A.Only Text 1 discusses education
B.They support different uses of school resources
C.Both reject using evidence
D.Text 2 argues that students should stop learning math
Explanation: Both texts concern school improvement, but they recommend different spending priorities. Text 1 favors tutoring, while Text 2 favors smaller classes.
10In a story, the narrator describes an old train station as quiet, dusty, and full of faded posters for trips no one takes anymore. What tone is created?
A.celebratory
B.furious
C.nostalgic and lonely
D.comic and silly
Explanation: The images of quietness, dust, and faded posters suggest memory and loss. That combination creates a wistful, lonely tone rather than anger or humor.

About the Ohio State Tests/EOC Exam

Ohio's current statewide academic assessment program is Ohio's State Tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies, including high school end-of-course assessments. The source ID references the legacy Ohio Graduation Tests, but Ohio DEW states that students who first enrolled in grade 9 before July 1, 2014, may use applicable EOC and other alternative tests, and the Ohio Graduation Tests are not administered after September 1, 2022. This practice set is therefore aligned to current OST/EOC readiness rather than retired secure OGT forms.

Assessment

Official Ohio's State Tests item counts and point totals vary by grade, subject, course, and form. Current high school end-of-course testing for the classes of 2023 and beyond covers English language arts II, Algebra I, Geometry or Integrated Mathematics I and II, Biology, American History, and American Government. Official tests may include selected-response, constructed-response, writing, equation, and technology-enhanced item types; this bank converts the same readiness skills into 100 original four-option multiple-choice questions.

Time Limit

High school EOC tests are split into two parts. Ohio testing time guidance lists ELA II at 105 minutes per part, 210 minutes total. Algebra I, Geometry, Biology, American History, and American Government are 90 minutes per part, 180 minutes total. Schools may administer a test in one day or in two parts on separate days, with accommodations and additional time handled under Ohio policy.

Passing Score

For current graduation competency, Ohio DEW set the competency score at 684 for both English language arts II and Algebra I or Integrated Math I. For performance reporting, the OST Spring 2025 statistical summary lists Proficient cut scores at 700 for the tested grades and high school EOC subjects. Legacy OGT testers use EOC and other approved alternatives because the OGT is no longer administered.

Exam Fee

No direct student fee published by Ohio DEW for enrolled students taking school-administered Ohio's State Tests; optional third-party prep costs vary. (Ohio Department of Education and Workforce)

Ohio State Tests/EOC Study Tips from Top Performers

1For ELA II, identify the exact evidence that supports each answer before looking at distractors.
2For writing and revision, decide whether the item is testing grammar, punctuation, organization, clarity, word choice, or argument structure.
3For Algebra I and Geometry, write an equation, diagram, or proportional relationship before calculating.
4For Biology, connect data to scientific reasoning; do not answer from memory when a table, graph, or model provides the evidence.
5For American History and American Government, track source purpose, audience, perspective, and constitutional principle before choosing an answer.
6For cross-subject data items, state the limited conclusion supported by the evidence and avoid causal claims when the data show only association.
7Use Ohio's official practice tests and tutorials to learn the computer-based format, then use this bank to strengthen the underlying reasoning.
