OLSAT Practice Test

Families preparing young children for the OLSAT, the entrance exam used for placement into Grade 3 and Grade 4, will find this workbook useful. It is aimed at current second and third graders who are getting ready for the test. The book contains one complete practice exam built to resemble the questions found on the real assessment.

The material was written by an experienced professional, checked by educators, and tried out with students who were actually preparing for the OLSAT. Along with study tips, the book claims to cover the full syllabus and the other key details of the examination. It works through fifteen question types: antonyms, sentence completion, sentence arrangement, arithmetic reasoning, logical selection, word and letter matrices, verbal analogies, verbal classification, logical inferences, figural analogies, pattern matrices, figural series, number sequences, number inferences, and number matrices.

Each section comes with a set of standard questions and step-by-step strategies meant to help test takers handle its demands and raise their scores. An answer key is included so students can check their own work. Used this way, the book helps young learners spot their strengths and weaknesses and work on the areas where they fall short. Since a high score is needed to qualify for Gifted and Talented Education programs, the authors present the book as a way to improve performance and gain admission to those programs.
