GRAD Item SamplersAccountability Programs :

The Reading GRAD tutorial demonstrates the navigation and online tools available in the computer-delivered Reading GRAD retests. Students should view the tutorial before taking the Reading GRAD Item Sampler or the Reading GRAD retest.

The Reading GRAD Item Samplers familiarize students and teachers with the test format and give students a chance to answer sample test questions. Item samplers contain fewer questions than the actual full-length test, and cannot be used to predict how well students will do on the operational tests.

Both the item samplers and the tutorial are available from our test vendor. *View the GRAD Item Samplers on Pearson's Minnesota Online Assessments Website. Step-by-step instructions and technical support contact information are given on the Website.
