How it works

Unofficial practice for the Kansas state test, the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP): math for grades 3 to 8 and science for grades 5 and 8. The questions are our own. Not affiliated with the Kansas State Department of Education.

Read the full guide

What is on this page

Two sets: grades 3 to 5 and middle school. Each math grade has 10 to 15 questions spread over the domains in the shares of the KAP blueprint, so grade 3 leans on measurement and data, and grades 4 and 5 lean on fractions. Science has ten questions each for grades 5 and 8. Each answer names its Kansas standard.

Where Kansas differs

The questions follow the 2017 Kansas Mathematics Standards, which set some topics in their own grades: the volume of prisms and cylinders in grade 7, cones in grade 8, and systems of equations in high school. English language arts needs reading passages and is not here.

  • Kansas allows no calculator on the grade 3, 4 and 5 math tests, so work those questions by hand.

Questions and answers

Is there a Kansas state assessment practice test for 4th grade?

Yes. The Grades 3 to 5 set holds ten grade 4 math questions, four of them on fractions, the largest share of the grade 4 blueprint. Kansas gives no state science test in grade 4.

Is there a Kansas state test practice test for middle school?
