From the author
Grade 7 ELA Practice Test
The primary teacher-created test has 35 questions in four sections: literary reading, argumentative reading, paired texts and editing/vocabulary. Its readings include The Sparrow in Room 204, an argument about city trees, and paired texts about perseverance. Explained answers and a teacher guide support review and follow-up teaching.
The download also includes a separate 38-question version using Inheritance, The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and Cartography of Absence, with an answer sheet and guidance. This additional version contains unfinished answer-choice placeholders and needs correction before student use.
There are 59 pages across six PDF files. Use the primary test by section or for a longer practice session. The scoring conversion is a classroom approximation, not an official FAST score predictor.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students analyze a literary narrative for theme, character development, symbolism, and figurative language (Section 1).
Students evaluate an argumentative essay's claims, evidence, and rhetorical appeals, and identify text structure across paired informational and poetic passages (Sections 2-3).
Students self-check and interpret their own performance using the provided answer explanations and classroom scoring guide, which is not an official FAST score predictor.
Teaching tips
- Use students’ cited evidence and explanations to choose follow-up questions for discussion.
Skills covered
Literary analysis — students trace theme, character change, and symbolism in a short narrative (Section 1, and remediation activities for ELA.7.R.1.1-1.4).
Argumentative reading — students evaluate claims, evidence, and counterclaims in an essay and compare informational/poetic paired passages (Sections 2-3, remediation for ELA.7.R.2.1-2.4).
Score interpretation — students and teachers use the scoring conversion chart to discuss a raw score using suggested classroom levels, not an official FAST score prediction.
