The sample items are offered to show educators the format and appearance of the test content students will see in test booklets in 2012 for the norm-referenced portion of the K-PREP.

These items are not intended to reflect the difficulty of the Stanford content. They were selected to show the types of questions that students will answer and how reading passages and test items will be presented in print.

Governor Beshear will proclaim the week of March 12 through March 16, 2012 to be “Operation Preparation”

Operation Preparation will provide every 8th and 10th grade student access to college and career advising from a member of the local community

Using each students’ Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and EXPLORE/PLAN data, advisors will guide students through the process of preparing themselves to be ready for college and career success.
