2008 TAKS

Notes

• These questions were gleaned from the 2008 released TAKS items. I tried to compare the questions from their 6th, 7th and 8th grade tests to our SOLs.

• There are many good released items that are simply “too big” to make into TurningPoint slides. You may find links to the tests here http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/resources/release/taks_items/index.html.
