Albert's OST American History course is organized into themes and further broken into short, formative assessments on specific topics.

Our full OST American History subject guide includes a Topic Quizzes theme that aligns with the different subtopics on the exam.

Our topic quiz theme(s) contains a set of short, formative topic quizzes. Each topic quiz is designed to be given in a single class period. The quiz questions mimic the rigor and format of the actual exam. For example, here are some topic quizzes:

Every question is aligned to the standards outlined in the Ohio State Standards. Each standard begins with the state abbreviation OH.

You can find questions aligned to learning standards using our standards search tool. In the Standards drop-down at the top of the Assessments tab, you can search for standards by name OH AH 6 or description. When you type in characters that match one of the standards, the drop-down will populate with matching standards.

In addition to standards, each question is assigned one or more tags to help differentiate between the wide variety of questions we offer. These tags are a word or phrase, with all words lower-case and multiple word tags connected by a hyphen. For example, “native-americans” or “the-gilded-age”.

To search for a tag, click the Tags drop-down within the subject and enter the tag or content you're searching for in the search bar.

For more help on finding questions using standards and tags, visit our Help Center.

OST American History uses five question types to provide students with a variety of practice that mimics the actual exam. These question types include:

For additional material, you can combine OST American History with our other core course, U.S. History. Our core courses are aligned to Ohio standards, so you can leverage thousands of aligned practice questions across Albert to assess, reteach, and extend student learning.
