Idaho State Test Practice

Build Idaho assessment readiness with five focused 10-question practice sets covering ISAT ELA, mathematics, science, sources, data, and applied problem solving.

Idaho State Test practice sets

This Idaho State Test Practice page provides five short practice sets with 10 original multiple-choice questions each. The sets cover ISAT ELA and language, mathematics, science and data investigation, sources and reasoning, and integrated review.

Idaho ISAT assessment areas

The Idaho Department of Education states that ISAT assesses grade-level Idaho content standards in English Language Arts and mathematics for Grades 3–8 and 11. Science ISAT is administered in Grades 5, 8, and 11. This hub gives students a broad starting point before moving to subject-specific and grade-specific practice pages.

How to use this page

Complete one 10-question set at a time. Return to the passage, source, graph, model, or calculation, then review the explanation after each response.

This is supplemental State Test Practice, State Assessment Practice, and Standardized Test Practice. It does not replace current Idaho Department of Education guidance, official assessment materials, accommodations, or testing policies.

Gravity provides the attraction that keeps the Moon in orbit.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A student mixes vinegar and baking soda and observes bubbles. What do the bubbles most likely show?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is A gas formed during a chemical reaction..

  1. Read the Idaho task: Identify whether the question asks about ELA, mathematics, science, data, sources, or a multi-step problem.
  2. Use evidence and reasoning: Bubbles can be evidence that a reaction produced a gas.
  3. Check the result: Confirm that the selected answer is supported by the passage, calculation, model, graph, or scientific evidence.

Bubbles can be evidence that a reaction produced a gas.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What happens when a solid changes into a liquid?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Melting.

  1. Read the Idaho task: Identify whether the question asks about ELA, mathematics, science, data, sources, or a multi-step problem.
  2. Use evidence and reasoning: Melting is the change from solid to liquid.
  3. Check the result: Confirm that the selected answer is supported by the passage, calculation, model, graph, or scientific evidence.

Melting is the change from solid to liquid.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which tool is best for measuring temperature?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A thermometer.

  1. Read the Idaho task: Identify whether the question asks about ELA, mathematics, science, data, sources, or a multi-step problem.
  2. Use evidence and reasoning: A thermometer measures how hot or cold something is.
  3. Check the result: Confirm that the selected answer is supported by the passage, calculation, model, graph, or scientific evidence.

A thermometer measures how hot or cold something is.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A student tests whether different amounts of fertilizer affect plant height. What is the dependent variable?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Plant height.

  1. Read the Idaho task: Identify whether the question asks about ELA, mathematics, science, data, sources, or a multi-step problem.
  2. Use evidence and reasoning: Plant height is the outcome measured after changing fertilizer amount.
  3. Check the result: Confirm that the selected answer is supported by the passage, calculation, model, graph, or scientific evidence.

Plant height is the outcome measured after changing fertilizer amount.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Why should a plant experiment give each group the same amount of water?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is To control another variable..

  1. Read the Idaho task: Identify whether the question asks about ELA, mathematics, science, data, sources, or a multi-step problem.
  2. Use evidence and reasoning: Keeping water the same makes fertilizer the clearer difference being tested.
  3. Check the result: Confirm that the selected answer is supported by the passage, calculation, model, graph, or scientific evidence.

Keeping water the same makes fertilizer the clearer difference being tested.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Which energy source is renewable?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Sunlight.

  1. Read the Idaho task: Identify whether the question asks about ELA, mathematics, science, data, sources, or a multi-step problem.
