Texas STAAR Test Grade 8
Free STAAR practice questions for Texas mathematics and reading language arts.
Texas students take STAAR grade tests in Grades 3–8 and end-of-course exams in high school.
STAAR is Texas's state test in mathematics and reading language arts. Students in Grades 3–8 take the grade test each spring, and high-school students take end-of-course exams for Algebra I, English I and English II — those course exams count toward the graduation plan, so they follow the course rather than a fixed grade.
The tests are taken on paper or a device, mostly multiple choice with a few constructed-response questions, and they follow the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Because the questions are TEKS-specific, practising the exact question types — including two-part and “select all that apply” items — helps more than general test-taking tips.
Mathematics (Grades 3–8)
Number and operations, algebraic reasoning, measurement and geometry, and data, with multi-step problems and constructed responses.
Reading language arts (Grades 3–8)
Reading fiction and information texts, vocabulary in context, and writing and editing sentences and paragraphs.
Algebra I EOC
Equations and inequalities, functions and graphs, and polynomials and modeling.
English I / English II EOC
Literary and informational reading with evidence, vocabulary, and a writing prompt.
- Grade 3–8 Math and reading language arts chapters built from Texas TEKS
- Algebra I, English I and English II end-of-course practice
- Hints and worked explanations for every question
- A parent portal showing mastery and weak spots
