The Office of Student Assessment and the Mississippi Academic Assessment Program (MAAP) vendors, Questar Assessments and Data Recognition Corporation (DRC) updated the practice test resources for school year 2020-2021. As a reminder, the practice tests are resources that can help a student prepare and become familiar with their tests before they take the official test. However, the practice tests are not intended to be stand-alone assessments or a sole predicator of how a student will perform on the actual MAAP test.
Questar MAAP – Grades 3-8 ELA & Math; End-of-Course (EOC) Algebra I and English II
The practice tests have been revised to be representative of the various item types and appropriate styles available for students. All practice tests can be taken online and/or printed. The site has an answer key for each grade/subject, and the EOC also has a rationale document.
The practice tests can be found on the Questar Nextera resource pages: https://ms.nextera.questarai.com/tds/#practice
DRC MAAP – Grades 5 & 8 Science; EOC Biology and U.S. History
DRC completed the second of three 25-item practice tests. Each test is in PDF format.
DRC has added 5 additional items to the first 25-item practice test as a revision of the online test called Online Tools Training. There is a guide, How to Access Online Tools Training (OTTs), in each location below.
