The Grade 4 Pre-Assessment is made up of 20 multiple choice questions

and 5 short constructed response and 2 extended constructed response

questions.

Read each question carefully, including diagrams and graphs.

Work as rapidly as you can without sacrificing accuracy. Do not spend

too much time puzzling over a question that seems too difficult for you.

Answer the easier questions first; then return to the harder ones. Try to

answer every question, even if you have to guess.

Where necessary, you may use scratch paper for your work. Do not use

the margins of the test booklet to do scratch work.

YOU MUST RECORD ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS in the ANSWER

BOOKLET. Do not write in this test booklet.

If you change an answer, be sure to erase your first choice completely.

Incomplete erasures may be read as intended answers.

ALL ANSWERS MUST BE RECORDED IN YOUR ANSWER
