2024 – 2025 OLSAT Information (For Middle School Students)
Jersey City Public School students in 5th and 6th grade who apply to AEP and Infinity Institute must take the OLSAT assessment. To see how the OLSAT is weighted in admission criteria, click here. For Infinity Middle School, click here.
We have a page on Tests and Test Preparation. A tutor usually isn’t necessary for the OLSAT because there are practice books that should prepare students adequately. In order to do well on the OLSAT, students often benefit from seeing a similar test format and similar questions. The PSAT is not about pattern-recognition, like the OLSAT is, and has different test material.
The OLSAT date tends to be administered in schools during the week of April 22nd. To see the date, click here. Based on previous years, this is what the process should look like this year.

Happy Friday! ☀️☀️ Here’s the fourth thing on our list. One thing will be posted each Monday and Friday until the series is over. There will be 6 activities at the end of the series.
#5. Visit the historic “Apple Tree” House. Free lectures/events are held at the house, and tours are open to the public. These lectures only take place on certain days, so you can stay updated on the Jersey City Culture website. It lists other free events that happen in Jersey City so I’d recommend subscribing to the calendar.
