In the 8th grade you take your entire test over the course of two days. Here is how those days break down:
DAY ONE (Monday April 26)
Book One: Multiple Choice (55 minutes) You will answer 26 multiple choice questions that are spread across five passages. At least half of the passages will be nonfiction.
You will get about a 5 to 10 minute break between Book 1 and Book 2
Book Two: Listening and Writing (45 minutes) You will listen to one passage, almost always nonfiction and almost always about a person. Then, after the passage is read to you TWICE, you get 45 minutes to answer one graphic organizer question, two short-answer questions, and write one essay.
DAY TWO (Tuesday April 27)
Book Three: Reading and Writing (60 minutes) You will read two passages that are connected in some way. You will answer one graphic organizer question, two short-answer questions, and write one essay that connects both passages.
