ISAT Interactive Sample Page
Click the link above to see an interactive ISAT sample for multiple grades. Check out the fourth, fifth and third grade sites. You can test yourself with multiple samples dating back to 2009. It's a good idea to practice with the format to familiarize yourself with the test.
We have been studying Common Core Standards all school year. Illinois standards have slightly different expectations. The ISAT measures progress against Illinois State Standards, so it is a good idea to review these test samples.
Have fun.
