Alternate ACCESS Sample Items
Get familiar with test content
Give students a chance to practice answering the type of questions they’ll experience on the test.
Before using the sample items, test administrators should review the user guide below to get familiar with administering Alternate ACCESS test items.
When using the sample items, it is important to provide materials to students in paper format to reflect an authentic testing experience. For example, sample item files may contain blank pages. This is to simulate actual test items when they are printed, and to enhance the authenticity of the student's experience of the materials.
