How it works
Unofficial practice for Utah's RISE tests in two grade bands: math, reading and science. No question comes from a real test or a state training test. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Utah State Board of Education.
Read the full guide
What is in each band
Math follows the domains of the state's blueprint for each grade. English language arts is reading only, as on the real test since 2025: short literary and informational passages written for this page. Science begins with grade 4, where RISE science begins, and follows the SEEd strands.
How it differs from the real test
RISE is computer adaptive: the test picks harder or easier items based on a student's responses. Its science and part of its reading come as clusters, several linked questions on one phenomenon or passage. Here every question stands alone with four choices, and each one names the Utah Core Standard it practices.
Questions and answers
Is there a free Utah RISE practice test?
This page is free and needs no sign-in. The state's own training tests are free too, on the Utah RISE portal, and need no login. They show the tools and question types and give no score.
What grades take the RISE test in Utah?
Grades 3 to 10 take English language arts and mathematics, grades 4 to 10 take science, and grades 5 and 8 take writing. Testing in grades 9 and 10 begins in spring 2027.
Is the RISE test timed?
No. The Utah State Board of Education says RISE assessments are not timed.
How many questions are on the RISE math test?
The state's blueprint lists 45 operational items for grade 3 and 50 for each of grades 4 to 8, spread over the grade's domains by set percentages.
