NAEP Released and Sample Items

The assessments on this page represent released and/or sample assessment items provided by National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Assessment items released with each release of NAEP results. Those released items are publicly available on the NAEP Questions Tool.   NCES has provided a quick reference guide. The federal government invested a tremendous amount of resources (time and money) into these assessment items, from framework development to assessment analysis.  These items are provided for us (educators) to use as classroom resources.

The assessments are provided for WV teachers to use as instructional or assessment aids.  Remember: these questions are aligned to the NAEP frameworks. The NAEP frameworks were used in the creations of the WV 21st Century CSOs during the latest revision.

Possible ways to use

1. incorporate as part of your classroom assessments (formative or summative), if content appropriate
2. use as classroom questions
3. use as problem of the day
4. discuss scoring items using a rubric
