Grade 8 FSA Mathematics Practice Test Questions The purpose of these practice test materials is to orient teachers and students to the types of questions on paper-based FSA tests. By using these materials, students will become familiar with the types of items and response formats they may see on a paper-based test.

The practice test is not intended to guide classroom instruction. Directions for Answering the Mathematics Practice Test Questions If you don’t know how to work a problem, ask your teacher to explain it to you. Your teacher has the answers to the practice test questions. You may need formulas and conversions to help you solve some of the problems. You may refer to the Reference Sheet on page 5 as often as you like. Use the space in your Mathematics Practice Test Questions booklet to do your work.

Directions for Completing the Response Grids 1. Work the problem and find an answer. 2. Write your answer in the answer boxes at the top of the grid. • Write your answer with the first digit in the left answer box OR with the last digit in the right answer box . • Write only one digit or symbol in each answer box . Do NOT leave a blank answer box in the middle of an answer. • Be sure to write a decimal point, negative sign, or fraction bar in the answer box if it is a part of the answer. 3. Fill in a bubble under each box in which you wrote your answer. • Fill in one and ONLY one bubble for each answer box . Do NOT fill in a bubble under an unused answer box . • Fill in each bubble by making a solid mark that completely fills the circle. • You MUST fill in the bubbles accurately to receive credit foryour answer. When a percent is required to answer a question, do NOT convert the percent to its decimal or fractional equivalent. Grid in the percent value without the % symbol.
