This 294-page workbook by the Research & Education Association (REA) is an 8-inch by 11-inch softbound manual. It is divided into eight chapters that provide students with the information and strategies needed to pass the OGT in math. Each chapter addresses a specific Ohio academic standard and contains a “Let’s Review” section with sample questions that simulate what a student might find on the real OGT. Tips on how to approach individual questions (including tips on how to use the OGT calculator) are sprinkled throughout the reviews. The end of the workbook contains two practice tests that are based on actual OGTs, along with an answer key and explanations.

Minuses – The workbook appears to have no specific author, but is a collaborative product of the REA editorial staff who are not Ohio educators. In fact, there’s no evidence or statement that the book was even reviewed by anyone from Ohio. The publishing company is headquartered in New Jersey. The answer keys for review sections are hard to find and would require significant “flipping” by users.
