- New TELPAS Writing Questions
Beginning February 8, a TELPAS writing sampler set will be available in the Practice Tests Site. The sampler set will include constructed response, text entry, and sentence correction type questions, which will be embedded in the spring 2022 TELPAS reading tests. The TELPAS writing sampler set is not grade-level specific, so there is only one writing sampler set. The purpose of the writing sampler set is to help students become familiar with the tools and functionality of different types of writing questions.
In addition to the release of the writing sampler set, an accommodations document, 2022 Accommodations Guidance for TELPAS Writing Field Test, has been posted to the Accommodations Resources webpage under Related Resources. This document provides guidance regarding accessibility and designated supports specifically for the TELPAS writing field-test questions.
