Introduction
In this book, you will find eight Practice Tests designed to help students prepare to take
standardized tests. Each test has 20–30 multiple-choice items that closely resemble the kinds
of questions students will have to answer on “real” tests. Each part of the test will take 30–40
minutes for students to complete.
The Math skills measured in these tests and the types of questions are based on detailed
analyses and correlations of the five most widely used standardized tests and the curriculum
standards measured by many statewide tests, including the following:
Stanford Achievement Test California’s STAR Test.
CTBS TerraNova TAAS (Texas).

Scholastic Success With Math Tests: Grade 3 © Michael W. Priestley, Scholastic Teaching Resources
Metropolitan Achievement Test MCAS (Massachusetts).
Iowa Test of Basic Skills FCAT (Florida).
California Achievement Test New York

How to Use the Tests


Tell students how much time they will have to complete the test. Encourage students to work
quickly and carefully and to keep track of the remaining time—just as they would in a real
testing session. You may have students mark their answers directly on the test pages, or you
may have them use a copy of the Answer Sheet. An answer sheet appears at the end of each
test. The answer sheet will help students become accustomed to filling in bubbles on a real test.
It may also make the tests easier for you to score.
We do not recommend the use of calculators. For Practice Tests 2 and 6, students will need an
inch ruler and a centimeter ruler to answer some of the questions.
At the back of this book, you will find Tested Skills charts and Answer Keys for the eight
Practice Tests. The Tested Skills charts list the skills measured in each test and the test
questions that measure each skill. These charts may be helpful to you in determining what
kinds of questions students answered incorrectly, what skills they may be having trouble with,
and who may need further instruction in particular skills. To score a Practice Test, refer to the
Answer Key for that test. The Answer Key lists the correct response to each question.
To score a Practice Test, go through the test and mark each question answered correctly. Add the
total number of questions answered correctly to find the student’s test score. To find a percentage
score, divide the number answered correctly by the total number of questions. For example, the
percentage score for a student who answers 20 out of 25 questions correctly is 20 4 25 5 0.80,
or 80%. You might want to have students correct their own tests. This will give them a chance to
see where they made mistakes and what they need to do to improve their scores on the next test.
On the next page of this book, you will find Test-Taking Tips. You may want to share these
tips and strategies with students before they begin working on the Practice Tests.

4
Test-Taking Tips: Mathematics
1. For each part of the test, read the directions carefully so you know what to do.
Then read the directions again—just to make sure.

2. Look for key words and phrases to help you decide what each question is asking
and what kind of computation you need to do. Examples of key words: less than,
greatest, least, farther, longest, divided equally.

3. To help solve a problem, write a number sentence or equation.


Scholastic Success With Math Tests: Grade 3 © Michael W. Priestley, Scholastic Teaching Resources

4. Use scrap paper (or extra space on the test page) to write down the numbers and
information you need to solve a problem.

5. If a question has a picture or diagram, study it carefully. Draw your own picture or
diagram if it will help you solve a problem.

6. Try to solve each problem before you look at the answer choices. (In some tests,
the correct answer may be “Not Given” or “Not Here,” so you will want to be sure
of your answer. In these Practice Tests, some of the Math questions use “NG” for
“Not Given.”)

7. Check your work carefully before you finish. (In many questions, you can check
your answer by working backwards to see if the numbers work out correctly.)

8. If you are not sure which answer is correct, cross out every answer that you know
is wrong. Then make your best guess.

9. To complete a number sentence or equation, try all the answer choices until you
find the one that works.

10. When working with fractions, always reduce (or rename) the fractions to .
their lowest parts. When working with decimals, keep the decimal points lined .
up correctly.
