The English Content Team has created NYS Samplers for grades 3-5. The sample exams reflect the changes indicated by New York State, and assess what students know and can do relative to the grade-level Common Core Learning Standards for English. The three “sample books” follow the recommended percentages for clusters, standard emphasis, and domain attribution specified in the “Educator Guide to the 2017 Grade 3-5 Common Core English Language Arts Test”.
