To the StudentThis book provides practice with
the math skills that students in grade 8
should master. The book has three
practice tests, each with 56 questions
from five reporting categories: Numbers,
Operations, and Quantitative Reasoning;
Patterns, Relationships, and Algebraic
Reasoning; Geometry and Spatial Reasoning;
Measurement; and Probability and Statistics.
Your teacher will explain how to
complete the practice tests. You will use the
answer form at the back of this book. Be
sure to fill in the answer bubbles completely.
For griddable items, enter your answer in
the boxes and then fill in the corresponding
bubbles. If you change an answer, be sure
to erase your first answer fully. To help you
choose the best answer to a problem, use
the following tips:
• Read the problem carefully before you try
to answer it.
• Be sure you know what the problem is
asking you to do.
• Read all the answer choices for multiple-
choice problems before you choose
your answer. Then cross out any answer
choices that you know are wrong. Think
about the answer choices that are left.
Choose the one you think is correct.
• Fill in the answer bubble or answer grid
carefully.
• Read the problem again. Then check that
your answer makes sense.
