TEA releases previously administered tests for TELPAS, which are available in the online testing environment as practice tests. The online practice tests, available on the Practice Test Site, 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. TEA highly recommends that district personnel use these online practice tests with their students so students are familiar with the online platform prior to the TELPAS administrations.
The TELPAS practice tests are released tests that have been previously administered. In addition, small sets of test questions are available as practice sets. These practice sets are typically used to introduce students to new types of test questions.
