US state tests, Grades 3 to 8
State test practice
Every spring, public school students in Grades 3 to 8 take their state's test in math and reading. Each state sets its own: its own length, its own question types and its own way of reporting.
Our practice follows each state's published blueprint: the same number of questions, the state's reporting categories and the online question types, with written answers scored on the state's own rubric. Pick your state to start.

Questions
What parents ask
- Are these real state test questions?
- No. Each state's released tests belong to the state. We write our own passages and questions to the published blueprint and the state's standards, in the same question types as the online test.
- Will it predict my child's score?
- No. The report shows how many questions your child answered correctly in each of the state's reporting categories, so you can see what to practice. Only the real test gives a scale score or a performance level.
- What does the pack open?
- Unlimited practice tests for every state we build, with the right answer and a worked solution for every question, and the written answers scored. It is US$49 for six months.
State test names belong to their states. Scholar Tests is not affiliated with or endorsed by any state education agency or school district, including the Texas Education Agency. Our questions are written by us; a practice score is not a state test score.
