The
Irvine Unified School District conducts an annual Multiple Criteria Measure
screening process for all students in 3rd through 7th grades to identify
students for placement in the GATE program. The screening process takes place
automatically for students within the school day and over the course of the
school year. The Otis Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT) is an optional, fee-based
assessment. If administered by IUSD, it will be considered as one measure of
achievement within the screening process. The OLSAT measures a student's
verbal, nonverbal, and quantitative abilities that relate to a student's
academic success in school. Students do not need to take the OLSAT to be
identified for the GATE program. If your family is interested in registering
for the OLSAT, please visit this link: OLSAT
Registration. Further information regarding the OLSAT and the GATE
screening process can be found on IUSD’s GATE website.

When do the results from the OLSAT test come out?
ReplyDeleteHello. Score reports are being mailed out today! Thanks for checking in with us.
ReplyDeleteHi Kara, From the IUSD website it appears that OLSAT testing dates for 2018-2019 school year will be held in August of 2018 (08/07 – 08/08). My friend whose son will be in 3rd grade beginning August 2018 was looking for the test dates. In the past we have had testing dates approx. around 3 months after the beginning of 3rd grade school year. Hence wanted to confirm that testing will occur for 3rd graders before IUSD 3rd grade school begins. Appreciate your response.
