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.
