Sample Items and Released Tests

Students can practice at home to become familiar with the assessment items and the testing platform.  If your child has an IEP/504 with paper-based accommodation, your child may want to practice using a paper-based test.  If your child has an IEP/504 with an accommodation such as oral presentation (text-to-speech) or masking, have your child practice with these accommodations as they take the computer-based test. All students without an IEP/504 will take their tests on the computer.  Students can take computer-based sample item tests or released tests from previous years.
