About the OLSAT test:
"To learn new things,
students must be able to perceive accurately, to recognize and recall
what has been perceived, to think logically, to perceive relationships,
to abstract from a set of particulars, and to apply a generalization to
new and different contexts. By evaluating a student’s performance on a
variety of tasks, OLSAT 8 assesses those abilities that are related to
success in school. Tasks such as detecting likenesses and differences,
recalling words and numbers, defining words, following directions,
classifying, establishing sequence, solving arithmetic problems, and
completing analogies are included in OLSAT 8 since they have been shown
to be valid measures of an individual’s ability to reason logically."
