Are there online CBT practice tests for students?
Yes, there are online practice tests, called "Samplers," available for students, teachers, and parents to use in every subject/grade level. The practice tests are comprised of pre-released NYS test questions. Constructed response questions, where the student must type their answer to respond, are typically the last 2-3 questions in each sampler.

Note: the online Question Sampler only works in the Chrome browser as this environment most closely resembles the operational test system (the Nextera Test Delivery System).
This image shows kiosk mode. Putting the Chromebooks in kiosk mode allows the student to see the sign in to the test, not the usual Chromebook sign on. They cannot navigate using the Chrome browser. They are only in the Questar app for the NYS test.
