Practice and Released Tests
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) releases previously administered tests for the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), STAAR Alternate 2, and the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS). Some released tests are available in a printable PDF format, some released tests are available in the online testing environment as practice tests, and some are available in both.
Printable PDF Released Tests
Printable PDF versions of released tests for STAAR and STAAR Alternate 2 are available on the TEA website.

Online Practice Tests
The online practice tests are designed to familiarize students with the online testing environment, the available tools, and the various types of test questions. These tests provide students with an opportunity to interact with the test interface, respond to questions, and locate and use available tools.
The practice tests are released tests that have been previously administered and are available for STAAR and TELPAS. In addition, small sets of test questions (smaller than an actual test) are available as practice sets. These practice sets are used to introduce students to new types of test questions like the new STAAR item types. Access the online practice tests and practice sets by clicking the Practice Tests Login card below.
