What the Oklahoma 3rd grade math test covers
Oklahoma's blueprint splits the 50 items among four strands, and the questions here keep its shares. Number and Operations is nearly half: place value to 100,000, rounding, adding and subtracting, multiplication and division facts, fractions and money. Geometry and Measurement covers solid shapes, angles, perimeter, area, measuring length and telling time. Algebraic Reasoning covers patterns, rules and missing numbers. Data and Probability covers frequency tables, pictographs, line plots and bar graphs.
OCCT or OSTP?
Looking for OCCT practice? The state's current blueprint and item specifications use one name for the grade 3 test: the Oklahoma School Testing Program, or OSTP. Under each answer is its objective, such as 3.N.2.2, the code the Oklahoma Academic Standards give to multiplication facts.
Calculators, formula sheets and hundreds charts are not allowed on the grade 3 test, so work every question on paper.
Questions and answers
How many questions are on the Oklahoma 3rd grade math test?
60, in two sections: 50 operational items, each scored right or wrong, and 10 field-test items that do not count toward the score.
How long is the OSTP 3rd grade math test?
The state estimates about 40 minutes for each section, about 100 minutes with login and directions, and suggests a maximum of 200. The two sections may be given in one day with a break or on consecutive school days.
What is a passing score on the Oklahoma 3rd grade math test?
There is no percent to pass. Each student's scaled score falls in one of four performance levels: Below Basic, Basic, Proficient or Advanced. A percent here is for practice only.
