Life and Work Reading Sample Test Items

Use these sample test items to:

  • familiarize students with CASAS items
  • give students practice in taking a CASAS test
  • make future testing go more smoothly
  • help reduce student test-taking anxiety

These items are samples to familiarize students with CASAS test formats. Because they are not actual tests, they are not predictors of student performance and are not valid for level placement, assessment, or for reporting standardized scores.

Download the reading sample test items in printable PDF format or in a PowerPoint format for use in computer labs and classrooms with teacher/demonstration computers.
