If your child takes any Ohio state assessment in the 2026–2027 school year — an Ohio State Test high school end-of-course exam (English language arts, mathematics, science, or social studies), a Grade 3 English language arts test, an Ohio English Language Proficiency assessment, or the AASCD alternate assessment — this is the calendar to bookmark.
We've compiled the full schedule directly from the Ohio Department of Education published 2026–2027 testing dates page (last modified May 11, 2026). Every season, every window, every results-release date.
Note about the Ohio Graduation Tests (OGT): The OGT is no longer offered. Students who are adult testers referenced under the older OGT requirement should consult the Supplemental Adult Tester Windows in the OST section below and the Ohio Department of Education's Ohio Graduation Tests page for information on current adult testing options.

Important notes
- Districts choose consecutive school days within the statewide windows. Each Ohio school district picks a consecutive series of school days to administer state tests within the specified statewide windows.
- 15 consecutive school days for high school EOC and spring administrations. The Fall HS EOC and the Spring math/science/social studies and Spring ELA windows are administered for 15 consecutive school days, including makeups, within the statewide window.
- Five consecutive school days for Grade 3 ELA in fall. Including makeup.
- The Ohio Graduation Tests (OGT) are no longer offered. Adult testers should reference the Supplemental Adult Tester Windows above and consult the Ohio Department of Education's Ohio Graduation Tests page for current adult testing options.
- All information on this page is subject to change. The Ohio Department of Education explicitly notes that testing dates and windows may be updated. Always confirm directly with your school district.
If your child is preparing for an OST high school math EOC
For Ohio students testing in any of the OST math EOC windows, our Texas CBE practice exams cover the same core algebra and geometry concepts. Ohio's Learning Standards for Mathematics share substantial overlap with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II — both anchor on the Common Core–derived skill base. A student strong on TEKS-tagged Algebra I practice will generally be strong on the Ohio Algebra I OST.
