The Oregon Department of Education provides sample tests to demonstrate the types of reading selections and questions students at grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and high school might encounter on the Oregon Statewide Assessment administered each spring. Passages on the test represent literary, informative and practical reading selections students might see both in school and other daily reading activities. These sample questions were taken from previous years’ tests.
