Math 7 Review
2008 TAKS
Notes
• These questions were gleaned from the 2008
released TAKS items. I tried to compare the
questions from their 6th, 7th and 8th grade tests
to our SOLs.
• There are many good released items that are
simply “too big” to make into TurningPoint
slides. You may find links to the tests here
