2017 TEXAS STAAR TEST – GRADE 7 – MATH

Total Possible Score: 40

Needed Correct to Pass: 25

Needed Correct to Master: 33

Time Limit: 4 Hours

This file contains the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) administered in Spring, 2017,

along with the answer key, learning objectives, and, for writing tests, the scoring guide. This document is available

to the public under Texas state law. This file was created from information released by the Texas Education Agency,

which is the state agency that develops and administers the tests. All of this information appears on the Texas

Education Agency web site, but has been compiled here into one package for each grade and subject, rather than

having to download pieces from various web pages.

The number of correct answers required to "pass" this test is shown above. Because of where the "passing" score is

set, it may be possible to pass the test without learning some important areas of study. Because of this, I believe that

making the passing grade should not be considered "good enough." A student's goal should be to master each of the

objectives covered by the test. The "Needed Correct to Master" score is a good goal for mastery of all the objectives.

The test in this file may differ somewhat in appearance from the printed version, due to formatting limitations.

Since STAAR questions are changed each year, some proposed questions for future tests are included in each year's

exams in order to evaluate the questions. Questions being evaluated for future tests do not count toward a student's

score. Those questions are also not included in the version of the test made available to the public until after they

used as part of the official test.

21 A is incorrect because the number of megabytes can be found using the proportion 264/528 = 35/x, which simplifies to x = 70, not 18.

B is correct because the number of megabytes can be found using the proportion 264/528 = 35/x, which simplifies to x = 70.

C is incorrect because the number of megabytes can be found using the proportion 264/528 = 35/x, which simplifies to x = 70, not 8.

D is incorrect because the number of megabytes can be found using the proportion 264/528 = 35/x, which simplifies to x = 70, not 23.

22 F; 18 is correct because the formula for volume of a triangular prism is V = Bh, so the area of the base can be found using B(12) = 216, and dividing both sides by 12 simplifies to B = 18.

G; Students may have multiplied 216(12) = 2,592, instead of dividing 216 by 12.

23 A is correct because 3 3/4 bags times 125.3 square feet = 3.75(125.3) = 469.875.

26 F is correct because 25% of 30, which is 7.5, is used on games and 5% of 30, which is 1.5, is used on research. The difference in hours is 7.5 - 1.5 = 6.

G is incorrect because 25% of 30, which is 7.5, is used on games and 5% of 30, which is 1.5, is used on research. The difference in hours is 7.5 - 1.5 = 6, not 20.

H is incorrect because 25% of 30, which is 7.5, is used on games and 5% of 30, which is 1.5, is used on research. The difference in hours is 7.5 - 1.5 = 6, not 7.5.

J is incorrect because 25% of 30, which is 7.5, is used on games and 5% of 30, which is 1.5, is used on research. The difference in hours is 7.5 - 1.5 = 6, not 1.5.

27 A is incorrect because 30.16 = 17.56 + 5x, which simplifies to 12.6 = 5x, and dividing both sides by 5 simplifies to x = 2.52, not 6.032.

B is incorrect because 30.16 = 17.56 + 5x, which simplifies to 12.6 = 5x, and dividing both sides by 5 simplifies to x = 2.52, not 3.512.
