NYSED provided Common Core sample questions in Grades 3-8 ELA
and math and grade-specific test guides intended for teachers.
Educators can use these teaching tools to:
•Better understand the shifts needed in classroom instruction;
•Better understand how student knowledge and skills will be assessed
beginning in 2012-13.
