3rd Grade Samples Tests for the Standardized NY Test

The New York Department of Education's Standardized Test Information

The New York State Department of Education provides 3rd grade sample tests and information on the math and ELA standardized tests. You can print these tests and administer them to your child at home for practice. There are released test booklets as well as answer keys available from five different school years, so your child should have enough testing practice.

In addition to the sample exams, you can view scoring information, score conversion charts, teacher evaluation forms and exam schedules. If you'd like your 3rd grader to get ahead, you can have him or her look through materials for the following year's science exam.
