Practice Tests and Other Resources

Information on Administering Practice Tests

Access resources to prepare students for testing.

Student Tutorial

This tutorial familiarizes students with navigating the MCAS Student Kiosk.

Notes:

  • The first screen shows a sample grade 10 test, but the tutorial is intended for all students.
  • The Spanish edition of the tutorial includes an example of the text-to-speech tool, but TTS is only available in English for operational tests. Students taking the Spanish/English edition who have accommodation EL3.1 (TTS for Math, STE, and Civics) for reading support will instead need a human read-aloud (accommodation EL3.2).

Practice Tests

Access practice tests for all subject areas, as well as standard reference sheets for Mathematics and Introductory Physics.

Note: If students write their answers in the constructed-response or essay response boxes, their answers will not be saved when they click on the Submit button at the end of the practice tests. It is recommended that students complete the constructed-response and essay practice test questions on paper so that their responses are not lost. Schools may also provide students the opportunity to take practice tests in the MCAS Training Site, where responses to constructed-response and essay practice test questions may be viewed by educators.
