If you have a 3rd - 5th grader, your child will be taking the Criterion Referenced Competency Tests this April. These tests will be based on the Georgia performance Standards curriculum your child is being taught at school each day.
The Georgia Department of Education has developed an online assessment system containing free practice tests your child can take at home if he/she has access to the internet. The practice tests are based on the skills and knowledge that will be tested next spring and test items are presented in the same format that students will see on the actual test. Practice test results do not affect a student's grade.
Your child can access practice tests in the following way:
1. Go to https://www.georgiaoas.org
2. Login with the student's Georgia Test identification number. If you are not sure of this number, contact your child's teacher. The number must be 10 digits long and there are no spaces in the number.
3. The password is education.
4. The Student Welcome Page will appear and your child can click View Student Tests.
5. Choose the subject area from the list of available subjects.
6. Select the test from the list.
7. Click the Take the Test button. The test will begin.
8. Once the test has been completed, click the Grade My Test button at the bottom of the page; a pop-up window will display. Click OK
9. The results of the student's test will display. You can either save or discard the results.
10. Click on Return Home if finished or click on a test option button if you want to take another test.
11. Click the Logout button when you are finished working in the online assessment system.
We hope this resource will be helpful to you!
