Directions for Grade 5 Pre-Assessment
The Grade 5 Pre-Assessment is made up of multiple choice questions,
constructed response questions and performance questions.
Read each question carefully, including diagrams and/or graphs.
Work as rapidly as you can without sacrificing accuracy. Do not spend too much
time puzzling over a question that seems too difficult for you. Answer the easier
questions first; then return to the harder ones. Try to answer every question,
even if you have to guess.
Where necessary, you may use scratch paper for your work. Do not use the
margins of the test booklet to do scratch work.
FOR ALL QUESTIONS, YOU MUST RECORD ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS ON
THE TEST BOOKLET.
