Math 3rd Grade Free Sample Questions
The following questions are written for 3rd grade students preparing for the FSA Math assessment.
Question 1
The first clock shows the time the party started. The second clock shows the time the party ended.
How long did the party last?
To see how long the party lasted, check and write down the start time:
The start time is 9:10.
Next, check and write down the end time:
The end time is 12:30.
Next, subtract the start time (9:10) from the end time (12:30). 9:10 is composed of 9 hours and 10 minutes.
Thus, start by subtracting the hours:
12:30 – 9 hours = 3:30
Now, subtract the minutes:
3:30 – 10 minutes = 3:20
3:20 is composed of 3 hours and 20 minutes.
Therefore, the correct answer is (C).
Question 2
Laura has a container with blue paint. She needs to paint three houses that are the exact same size. Painting each house requires twice the amount of blue paint shown below.
How much blue paint will Laura use to paint the three houses?
First, measure the amount of blue paint in the container. Note that the unit is liters (L). There are 4.5 liters of paint in the container:
Next, calculate how much paint each house requires. Each house requires twice the amount of paint in the container:
4.5 liters × 2 = 4.5 + 4.5 = 9 liters. Thus, each house requires nine liters of paint.
Finally, calculate the total amount of paint the three houses require together. If one house requires nine liters, multiply this number by 3:
9 liters × 3 houses = 27 liters
Laura will use 27 liters of blue paint to paint the three houses.
Therefore, the correct answer is (C).

Read the passage from "William Faulkner's Nobel Acceptance Speech" and then answer the questions.
Passage 1: from William Faulkner's Nobel Acceptance Speech (1950)
by William Faulkner
- Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.
- He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed — love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or compassion. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands. [passage continues]
This question has two parts. First, answer Part A. Then, answer Part B.
Part A – Question
What is the author of Passage 1 primarily concerned with?
Part B – Question
Which quotation from Passage 1 supports your answer in Part A?
Algebra 1 EOC Free Sample Questions
The following two questions are written for students preparing for the FSA EOC Algebra 1 assessment.
Question 1
David figures out that:
Part of his work is shown below:
Which expression or equation should be placed in the blank to correctly complete David’s work?
If you have exponents with the same base, then power laws can be used. Recall, the rule of multiplying the same bases:
The rule states that if we are multiplying bases then we can add the powers. The same rule applies backwards too and this is what we see here. If we have a base where the power is already a sum, then we can break it down into two bases being multiplied. So:
As it is the same base, this can also be written as the product of 5 and 5 to the power of ½ ie.
Therefore, the correct answer is (C).
Question 2
Find the range of the function sketched below for the domain between -2 and 5.
The domain is all the values of x, and the range is all the values of y.
In the sketched function, the domain is:
The range is:
In this problem, you are asked only about the range when the domain is:
This is the green part in the sketched function below:
In this domain, the range varies between -3 and 4, hence:
If you chose answer (A), you chose the domain of the whole function.
If you chose answer (B), you chose the range of the whole function.
If you chose answer (C), you chose the domain between -3 and 4.
The correct answer is (D).
Algebra 2 EOC Free Example Questions
The following question is written for students preparing for the FSA EOC Algebra 2 assessment.
Ian invested some money in a savings account. The amount of money he has saved, in $, after T years can be found using the equation shown.
Question
Ian invested some money in a savings account. The amount of money he has saved, in $, after T years can be found using the equation shown.
To the nearest tenth of a year, how many years will it take for him to have $12,000?
To answer this question, we need to solve the equation in steps to find T, which is the number of years.
If he had $12,000, then M would be 12,000. Substitute this into the equation.
 |
Next divide both sides by 2,000. |
 |
Next, take logs of both sides to get rid of the power. |
 |
Using the powers of logs, bring the power down in front. |
 |
Next, divide both sides by log 3. |
 |
To get rid of the 1⁄9 divide by 1⁄9 or multiply by 9, which is the same. |
 |
|
 |
Round your answer to one decimal place. |

Therefore, the correct answer is 14.7 years.
