Good morning,
Tri-Point Upper Elementary & Junior High School will begin taking the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) Test in the coming weeks. The IAR is the state assessment for Illinois students enrolled in a public school district. This test assesses the Illinois Learning Standards and is administered in English Language Arts and Mathematics to all students in grades 3-8. The window for testing opens March 3 and runs through April 18.
I wanted to share the IAR schedule with you. The dates for testing are listed below.
4th/5th Grades
Reading - April 7 and 8
Math - April 9 - 11
Junior High
Reading - April 7 and 8
Math - April 9 - 11
In addition to testing dates, I also want to share some test preparation resources. The first link shares practice questions released by the Illinois State Board of Education. Once you click on the link, simply select math or ELA and your grade level. This gives you access to several practice questions for both subjects.
The second link shares questions from past tests. Once you click on the link, select the subject and grade level. This will give you several different questions aligned to the Math and ELA Standards.
