The Regular STAAR Test Questions are Public

TEA releases two types of test questions for the STAAR test - sample questions and test forms. Sample test questions are small subsets of test questions released from the STAAR test banks. These test questions may have been previously administered to Texas students. A test form is a set of released test questions previously administered together to Texas students which reflects the STAAR test blueprints. 

TEA will release the first test form administered in the spring for each general STAAR assessment in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and every third year thereafter. Released test questions on this webpage do not represent all the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) student expectations eligible for assessment on STAAR.

Only the regular STAAR tests has been released at this time, but this is great information to use in understanding how the standards that are taught in our classrooms are assessed. The new state assessment for students with disabilities will be called STAAR A.  This new test is a regular STAAR test with embedded accommodations.
