The 8th Grade STAAR Math Test contains 52 multiple-choice questions and four open-ended questions. The student is provided with graphing paper, a reference sheet, and a calculator.
The test covers various mathematical concepts taught during the year. This may include, but is not limited to algebraic equations and functions, distance formula, converting data into equations, and interpreting charts and diagrams. Some of these questions may be especially challenging to students that have not before practiced enough math.
