Introduction
What is the TCAP Achievement Test? The TCAP Achievement Test is a multiple-choice test designed to measure student achievement in certain skills in four content areas: Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The sample questions in this on-line Item Sampler are representative of the item types and item formats that will be used in the actual test, including those questions with and without art. What are the questions testing? Questions are written to test student performance in state content standards. The State Content Standards and Performance Indicators were developed by the Tennessee Department of Education. These Standards and Performance Indicators are listed on the State Department of Education Web site at http://www.state.tn.us/education/curriculum.shtml. Who will be tested? All students in grades 3 through 8 will be tested. How long will the tests take? The length of the tests will vary, depending on the grade level. The time limits are generous and allow most students time to nish. Extended time limits only apply to students who are eligible for special or English Language Learner (ELL) accommodations. How do I use the sample questions? These questions provide information about the TCAP Achievement Test. The questions in the on-line Item Sampler are representative of questions that will be on the TCAP Achievement Test. In a classroom learning session, these questions can be used to prepare students for the actual test. Item types with and without art are presented to better familiarize students with the actual test format. An answer key for the sample questions is provided at the end of this on-line Item Sampler.

How will the tests be scored? The test answers will be machine scored. Results from the test provide information about how well students performed on the content being tested. May calculators be used? Calculators may be used on Part 1 and 2 of the Mathematics portions of the TCAP Achievement Test (grades 38) as per system policy. Which test accommodations may be used? The Achievement Test may be administered using various procedures that are used during the students daily educational program. Certain conditions must be met for students to be eligible for special and ELL accommodations. Here are some tips for preparing students for the test. Remind students to: Relax: It is normal to be somewhat anxious before the test. Remember that the score is only one of a number of measures of performance. Listen: Listen to and read the test directions carefully. Plan Use of Time: First, answer all the questions you are sure about. Do not spend too much time on any one question. If a question seems to take too long, skip it and return to it later if you have extra time. Pause and Think: If you are not sure how to answer a question, carefully read it again. Rule out answer choices that you know are incorrect and then choose from those that remain.

Jan gave the following speech. Read the speech and answer Numbers 17 through 25.
Adopt-a-Highway
1
Hello. Im Jan from Mrs. Lakes class. My class wants to work together to help the community. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on state highways. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all Bolton Elementary students to join the program and adopt a highway. Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up alongside the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean. The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their community look nicer. Also, the state does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially kids like us, cleaning them up. We will need volunteers to help care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean, please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lakes room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. Please take a ier when you leave today. It tells all about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the messiest as a result of peoples unkind acts. Then well try to pick an area to adopt and clean up. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep Tennessee roads clean!

Matt wrote the following report for science class. It contains mistakes. Read the report and answer Numbers 26 through 36.
Sea squirts are little animals that live in the ocean. They have hollow bodies that water ows through. The sea squirt gets its name from one special thing it does. It squirts out the water that goes through its body. There are many other little animals in the ocean. Sea squirt babies look like tadpoles. They swim around by moving their tails. They swim until they nd a home. They might nd a home at the bottom of a boat, on a piece of wood, on a clamshell, or even on crabs and seaweed. When they decide on a place, they attach themselves to the new home by using a sucker on their head. The sea squirt grows a rubbery skin, or coat. Sea squirt coats can be different colors. Some coats are so clear that a person can see the insides of the animal! As adults, most sea squirts are shaped like small potatoes with two holes near their tops. Some sea squirts live in groups called colonies, but adult sea squirts dont move around like other animals do. They just stay in one place. They get their food from the water that passes through them and that they squirt right back out.

Koala Joey
by Buffy Silverman
1
Far away in Australia, a koala sits high in a eucalyptus tree. She grips a branch with the rough pads and sharp claws on her paws. In her pouch she hides something specialher baby. At birth the baby koala, called a joey, does not look like his furry mom. He is pink and bald and as small as a jellybean. Although he cannot see, he moves his legs and crawls. He smells milk and, without any help, starts to feel his way to his mothers pouch. Five minutes later he slips inside. Inside the pouch, the joey drinks his mothers milk and grows. His eyes open. His ears form, and he hears his mothers calls. Soon thick fur covers his body. By the time the joey is ready to explore the world, he looks like his mother. At ve months old, the joey peers out of his pouch. He eats a special soft food from his mother called pap. When the joey eats pap, he gets bacteria from his mothers stomach in his tummy too. He will need the bacteria to eat eucalyptus leaves, like grownup koalas do. In another month, the joey leaves the pouch for the rst time. He clings to his mothers belly while she climbs in the treetops. By the time he is eight months old, the joey no longer ts in his mothers pouch. But he still drinks her milk. Now, for a few hours each night, the joey climbs on his mothers back for a ride. While riding piggyback, he reaches for eucalyptus leaves. Just like mom, he nips off leaves and chews them. The leaves have plenty of water in them, so koalas rarely go to the ground for a drink.
When the joey is about one year old, his piggyback days are over. Now he climbs to the treetops by himself. On each of his front paws, he has two thumbs opposite his three ngers. He can grip branches and grab leaves. The young koala spends more and more time away from his mother. He no longer drinks her milk. He dozes alone on tree branches. Soon he will move to another tree and live on his own.

One day four birds met in a park. Where do all of you live? asked Robin. I live in the cherry tree in front of the school, said Cardinal. I live in the oak tree next to the library, said Blue Jay. And I live in the elm tree across from the bank, said Robin. How about you, Sparrow? I live in the G at Georges, said Sparrow. What did you say? said Blue Jay. I live in the G at Georges Barbershop, repeated Sparrow. Its right down the street from the bank. Follow me and Ill show you. So all the birds ew down the street to Georges Barbershop. Across the top of the shop were large letters that spelled out Georges Barbershop. And there, nestled snugly in the curve at the bottom of the G, was a small nest. See, said Sparrow. I told you I lived in the G at Georges. Im quite happy here. The top of the G keeps out the rain, and theres always plenty of hair lying about to weave into my nest. Well, said Robin, I think you have selected a sensible spot. Yes, indeed, agreed Cardinal and Blue Jay. The next day, the four birds again met together in the park. Sparrow looked a little ustered. Is anything wrong, Sparrow? asked Robin. Im afraid so, said Sparrow. You see, George the barber is moving away. He has packed up all his combs. He has packed up all the scissors. He has loaded his chairs onto a truck, and now hes sweeping up all the hair. Hes moving? cried all the other birds at once. What if he packs up the G in Georges? The G with your nest in it! Wed better hurry over there. The four birds ew away as fast as they could, but they arrived too late. All the letters in the sign at Georges Barbershop were gone, and the nest had gone with them. All that was left was an empty store with no name across the top. Sparrow looked even more ustered. You can come live with me! cried Cardinal. Thanks, said Sparrow. But Im sure Ill manage somehow.

Every day after that, Cardinal, Blue Jay, and Robin met together in the park. But Sparrow did not come. The three friends were worried. Sparrow had looked so ustered the last time they had talked. Then one day, there was Sparrow, not looking ustered at all. Hello, hello, said Cardinal, Blue Jay, and Robin. Where have you been? Ive moved, said Sparrow. Ive moved to the P in Pizza! What did you say? said Blue Jay. I live in the P in Pizza at Pauls Pizza Place, where the barbershop used to be. I can offer you some tasty crumbs of pizza crust if youre in the mood for a snack. So the four birds ew down the street to Pauls Pizza Place to have a snack at Sparrows new home.
