Foundations of Reading Practice Test
INTRODUCTION
This practice test is a sample test consisting of 100 multiple-choice questions and 2 open-response item
assignments. An Answer Key Worksheet, Answer Sheet, and Evaluation Chart by test objective are included for
the multiple-choice questions. Evaluation Information and Sample Responses and Analyses, as well as a Scoring
Rubric, are included for the open-response items. Lastly, there is a Practice Test Score Calculation worksheet.
PURPOSE OF THE PRACTICE TEST
The practice test is designed to provide an additional resource to help you effectively prepare for the Foundations
of Reading test. The primary purpose of the practice test is to help you become familiar with the structure and
content of the test. It is also intended to help you identify areas in which to focus your studies. Education faculty
and administrators of teacher preparation programs may also find this practice test useful as they help students
prepare for the official test.
TAKING THE PRACTICE TEST
In order to maximize the benefits of the practice test, it is recommended that you take this test under conditions
similar to the conditions under which the official test is administered. Try to take the practice test in a quiet
atmosphere with few interruptions and limit yourself to the four-hour time period allotted for the official test
administration. You will find your results to be more useful if you refer to the answer key only after you have
completed the practice test.
Each multiple-choice question on the practice test has four answer choices, one of which is the best response.
Read each question carefully and choose the one best answer. Record each answer on the answer sheet provided.
Each multiple-choice item counts equally toward a candidate's total multiple-choice section score. There is no
penalty for guessing.
The open-response item assignments on this practice test require written responses. Directions for the openresponse item assignments appear immediately before the assignments. You may work on the multiple-choice
questions and open-response item assignments in any order that you choose.
INCORPORATING THE PRACTICE TEST IN YOUR STUDY PLAN
Although the primary means of preparing for the test is your college education, adequate preparation prior to
taking or retaking the test is strongly recommended. How much preparation and study you need depends on how
comfortable and knowledgeable you are with the content of the test.
The first step in preparing to take the test is to identify what information the test will address by reviewing the test
objectives for the field, which are available on the program Web site. The test objectives are the core of the
testing program and a helpful study tool. Before taking or retaking the official test, focus your study time on
those objectives for which you wish to strengthen your knowledge.
This practice test may be used as one indicator of potential strengths and weaknesses in your knowledge of the
content on the official test. However, because of potential differences in format and difficulty between the
practice test and an official Foundations of Reading test, it is not possible to predict precisely how you might
score on an official Foundations of Reading test. Keep in mind that the subareas for which the test weighting is
greatest will receive emphasis on this test.
