Students in Ohio can take free practice tests for the ACT and SAT through OhioMeansJobs K-12 for both college admission exams. The practice tests are in the Assessment and Training Center . The center is a collection of online practice tests and skill improvement resources for students from grade four through adult and job seekers. A variety of practice tests are available including the ACT, SAT, PSAT, AP, GED, WorkKeys, ASVAB (Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery), and tests for nursing, plumbing, EMT and electrical careers. Modules to help improve computer, writing, and math skills also are available. There are options within each exam that allow a user to practice with explanations, simulate the real test or learn by reviewing the answers as they go along. Upon completion of any practice test, a record will be stored in the student’s OhioMeansJobs K-12 Backpack. Reminder: Restraint and Seclusion Report due Dec. 16 The Ohio State Board of Education created rule and policy regarding the implementation of positive behavior interventions and supports. They went into effect during the 2013-2014 school year to prevent the use of restraint and/or seclusion. In addition, the state rule requires districts to annually submit a reporting of incidents of student restraint and seclusion to the Ohio Department of Education. To ensure reporting accuracy across the state, there is an update to the reporting instructions. Please review the guidelines and sample forms for further clarification regarding restraint and seclusion documentation and reporting available here ; scroll to the Restraint and Seclusion Survey section. Your district’s completion of this survey will fulfill the reporting requirement of the above referenced rule. Please submit data from the 2015-2016 school year by the close of business on Dec. 16.
