York State TestingProgram  \nGrade 7 English Language Arts Test  \nReleased Questions  \n2025  \nNew York State administered the English Language Arts Tests in Spring 2025 and is making approximately 75% of the questions from these tests available for review and use.  \nTHE STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT / THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK / ALBANY, NY 12234  \nNew York State Testing Program  \nGrades 4–8 English Language Arts  \nReleased Questions from 2025 Exams  \nBackground  \nAs in past years, the New York State Education Department (NYSED) is releasing large portions of the 2025 NYS Grades 3–8 English Language Arts and Mathematics test materials for review, discussion, and use.  \nFor 2025, at least 75 percent of the test questions that appeared on the 2025 tests and counted toward students'scores are included in these released materials. This includes all constructed-response questions. Additionally, NYSEDis providing information about the released passages; the associated text complexity for each passage; and a map that details what learning standards each released question measures and the correct response to each question. These released materials will help students, families, educators, and the public better understand the tests and NYSED’s expectations for students.  \nUnderstanding English Language Arts Questions  \nMultiple-Choice Questions  \nMultiple-choice questions are designed to assess the New York State P–12 Next Generation Learning Standards in English Language Arts (ELA) . These questions ask students to analyze different aspects of a given text, including central idea, style elements, character and plot development, and vocabulary. Almost all questions, including vocabulary questions, will be answered correctly only if the student comprehends and makes use of the whole passage.  \nFor multiple-choice questions, students select the correct response from four answer choices. Multiple-choice questions assess reading standards in a variety of ways. Some ask students to analyze aspects of text or vocabulary. Many questions require students to combine skills. For example, questions may ask students to identify a segment of text that best supports the central idea. To answer these questions correctly, a student must first comprehend the central idea and then show understanding of how that idea is supported. Questions tend to require more than rote recall or identification.  \nTwo-Credit Constructed-Response Questions  \nTwo-credit constructed-response questions are designed to assess New York State P–12 Reading and Language Standards. These are single questions in which a student uses textual evidence to support their answer to an inferential question. These questions ask the student to make an inference (a claim, position, or conclusion) based on their analysis of the passage, and then provide two pieces of text-based evidence to support their answer.  \nThe purpose of the two-credit constructed-response questions is to assess a student’s ability to comprehend and analyze text. In responding to these questions, students are expected to write in complete sentences. Responses require no more than three complete sentences. The rubric used for evaluating two-credit constructed-response questions can be found in the grade-level Educator Guides at [https://www.nysed.gov/state-assessment/ grades-3-8-](https://www.nysed.gov/state-assessment/ grades-3-8-)ela-math-and-science-test-manuals.  \nFour-Credit Constructed-Response Questions  \nFour-credit constructed-response questions are designed to measure a student’s ability to write from sources. Questions that measure Writing from Sources prompt students to communicate a clear and coherent analysis of one or two texts. The comprehension and analysis required by each four-credit response is directly related to gradespecific reading standards. Student responses are evaluated on the degree to which they meet grade-level writing and language expectations.
