What are the Ohio Graduation Tests (OGT)?

• The Ohio Graduation Tests are tests that students
  must pass in order to earn an Ohio high school
  diploma.
• They measure content learned through the end of
  10th grade in reading, writing, mathematics,
  science, and social studies.

7
Why do 10th graders have to take the test?

• To confirm that all Ohio students who receive a
  high school diploma can demonstrate at least a
  high school level of achievement.
• To measure the level of reading, writing, math,
  science, and social studies skills expected of
  students by the end of 10th grade.
• To meet federal law for high school testing.

Test-Taking Tips for Students

• Analyze the question. Do NOT rush through the
  question. Read ALL of it!
• Use knowledge to rule out wrong answers for wiser
  guesses.
• The test booklet is scrap paper. Cross out
  unnecessary or extra information, underline key
  words, or what information isnt needed.
• Find the distracters in the multiple choice
  questions.
• Never leave a question blank.
• Dont waste energy trying to race other
  questions, or on one question going over it again
  and again.
• Practice good time management. Answer the easier
  questions first so there is more time for
  answering the harder ones, or returning to double
  check answers.

18
More Tips for Students

• Get plenty of rest
• Eat breakfast each day
• Dress comfortably
• Be confident of your ability
• Give your best effort

19
Self-Confidence for Students

• Think Success
• Keep your thoughts positive
• Turn negative thoughts into positive ones
• Tell yourself you will do well on the exam
• Relaxation Techniques Deep breathing, imagine
  yourself in a calm place

Question 10Antoine Lavoisier developed a
model of an acid from which he concluded that
acids were oxygen-containing binary compounds.
Later, Davy and Gay-Lussac demonstrated that
hydrogen was the Essential element in acids. This
example from history shows that Lavoisiers
model A. did not take into account the correct
charge on hydrogen ions. B. was a failure, since
bases, not acids, are able to contain oxygen.
C. was rejected as more information was
collected. D. was a mere hypothesis with no data
to support it.
