What's inside
- 5 full-length practice tests at the correct reporting-category weights
- 220+ practice questions with answer explanations citing the specific TEKS
- 2023 redesign item types — evidence-based selected response, drag-and-drop, multi-part
- Distractor analysis — every wrong answer maps to a specific TEKS misconception
What the Texas STAAR Grade 8 Science Practice looks like
STAAR Science covers matter & energy, force/motion/energy, earth & space, and organisms & environments. Redesign includes hot-spot items on scientific apparatus and constructed-response items on experimental design.
- Experimental-design items require interpreting tables and graphs
- Constructed response uses a rubric graded by TEA
- Every item maps to a specific TEKS in the answer key
Aligned to the 2023 STAAR redesign
The 2023 STAAR redesign replaced the all-multiple-choice format with a mix that includes evidence-based selected response, drag-and-drop, and multi-part items. At least 25% of items are non-MC. This book mirrors that mix — not a legacy-style all-MC practice book.
