more information to guide instruction.

• Item Sampler
– Item samplers can help students become familiar with what the
test looks like, as well as the types of questions that might
appear to the student on their test (like multiple choice). The
questions in the item sampler are not representative of the
content that will appear on their actual test, but students can
check and see if their answers are correct by using the provided
answer key PDF.
MAP Resources
26
• Practice Tests
– The practice tests are intended to introduce students to the type
of content that could appear on their tests. Currently, the
practice test is only available as a PDF. Students can check
their answers against a provided answer key PDF.
• EOC Practice Test Rationales
– The rationales are intended to be used as a teacher support
tool. Teachers may use the rationales as a guide for explaining
why selected answers are either right or wrong. Rationales for
incorrect answers, or distractors, were generated using common
misconceptions and/or errors in computation. Additionally, the
rationales may help students, families, and other education
stakeholders better understand the rigor and expectations of the
various item types.
