STAAR Alternate 2 Released Tests

TEA releases two types of test questions for the STAAR Alternate 2 program—sample questions and test forms. Sample test questions are small subsets of test questions released from the STAAR Alternate 2 test banks. These test questions may have been previously administered. A test form is a set of released test questions previously administered together to Texas students which reflects the STAAR Alternate 2 test blueprints.

STAAR Alternate 2 Reading/Language Arts assessments will include some new question types beginning in spring 2023. The new question types have been designed to accommodate the 2023 RLA TEKS revisions.
