TEA releases previously administered STAAR Alternate 2 tests, which are available in a printable PDF format. The PDF versions of the released tests are available on the STAAR Alternate 2 Released Tests webpage.
The released tests are designed to familiarize students with the testing format and the various types of test questions. The released tests also provide educators with an opportunity to observe how students interact with the test prior to the STAAR Alternate 2 administration.
The released tests are STAAR Alternate 2 tests that have been previously administered. In addition, small sets of test questions are available as sample sets. These sample sets are typically used to introduce students to new types of test questions.
