This document is available to the public under Texas state law. This file was created from information released by the Texas Education Agency, which is the state agency that develops and administers the tests. All of this information appears on the Texas Education Agency web site, but has been compiled here into one package for each grade and subject, rather than having to download pieces from various web pages.  \nThe number of correct answers required to \"pass\" this test is shown above. Because of where the \"passing\"score is set, it may be possible to pass the test without learning some important areas of study. Because of this, I believe that making the passing grade should not be considered \"good enough.\" A student's goal should be to master each of the objectives covered by the test. The \"Advanced Performance\" score is a good goal for mastery of all the objectives.  \nThe test in this file may differ somewhat in appearance from the printed version, due to formatting limitations. Since STAAR questions are changed each year, some proposed questions for future tests are included in each year's exams in order to evaluate the questions. Questions being evaluated for future tests do not count toward a student's score. Those questions are also not included in the version of the test made available to the public until after they used as part of the official test.  \nThe test materials in this file are copyright 2014 , Texas Education Agency.
