Take NAEP Now

Take or give a NAEP assessment using innovative digitally based questions that have been previously administered to students throughout the nation.

If you're a teacher, you can

• get immediate feedback on student performance, and
• compare results to national and state results.

If you’re a student, you can

• take an assigned test, and
• find out how you performed on the test.

NAEP Questions Tool

The NQT provides access to over 3,000 released questions from NAEP assessments in a variety of NAEP subject areas. You can see examples of students’ actual answers to constructed-response questions, with scorer comments. You can also see the percentage of students nationwide who answered each question correctly, and how students’ performance on a given question corresponds to their overall scores.

You can bookmark questions for later use, and use them to supplement classroom instruction. You can also build a quiz and administer it to your students and class.
