8th Grade LEAP Testing Practice

Louisiana PASS: Practice Assessment / Strengthen Skills is targeted for students in Grades 1-12. You can write an English / Language Arts composition and have it scored in PASS. You can answer constructed-response questions in English, math, science, and social studies. When you don't know an answer, you receive feedback to help you. This site is a fantastic way for our students to prepare for standardized testing. Student's first time screen name should be "student" with a password of "tiger." Once they login for the first time, they will be assigned their own screen name and password.
