The table below contains links to the Item Samplers & Practice Tests listed by subject and grade level for the Spring TCAP Achievement Test. 

Item Samplers

The Item Samplers provided below contain questions that are representative of the types of questions that will be on Spring TCAP Achievement Test.  Each test item in the Item Sampler is presented with the Reporting Category and Performance Indicator.  In a classroom learning session, these questions can be used to prepare students for the actual test. An answer key for the sample questions is provided at the end of each Item Sampler.

Practice Tests  

**Schools will receive hard copies of the practice tests about two weeks before the actual TCAP Achievement Test.

Practice Tests are full-length containing the same number of test items per content area that would be found on the actual Achievement Test taken in the Spring.  The design and layout of the Practice Tests are very similar to the actual test to better familiarize students with the test format. Practice tests can be used in the classroom setting to simulate a real testing session.  An answer key for the practice questions is provided at the end of each Practice Test.
