Assessment in the Standards Movement: U.S. Middle School Samples

Middle School Tests in New Jersey and Other States

  • Colorado Student Assessment Program Released Items. The assessments are in a relatively small-sized pdf format, so you can view and print the assessments. (There are some content areas that we do not assess in New Jersey.) Note: some tests are in Spanish. TESTED AREAS: Mathematics, Reading, and Science.
  • Florida Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) Sample Test Materials, Grades 3-10, for reading mathematics, and science.  These are very large pdf (Acrobat) files, so they may be difficult to download via a modem at home.
  • Georgia CRCT (Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests) sample items are provided for grades 1- 8 to introduce examples of multiple-choice item formats that students will encounter on the mandated end-of-year assessments.  TESTED AREAS: Mathematics, Reading, English/Language Arts, Science and Social Studies.
  • Illinois - The Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) Sample Books.
