The LEAP is a Computer-Based Longitudinal Assessment System for College and Career Readiness. The students will face a variety of new technology-enhanced questions as a part of the computer-based tests.
Some of them are Multiple choice-single correct responses, Multiple choice-multiple correct responses, Matching Tables, Drag and Drop, Hot text, Table Fill in, Graphing, Equation/numeric, Extended constructed response, Short answer, and many more.
Today, we will share several sample questions along with practice test links for grade 8 Math that gives you an idea of questions that your students are likely to see on the test. After each sample question, an explanation follows that includes any important aspects of the task that you may need to consider with respect to the skills, processes, and information your students need to know.

Sample Question: A linear function includes the ordered pairs (4, 21), (k, 29), and (7, 33). What is the value of k?
- 9
- 8
- 7
- 6
Answer Explanation:
m =(29-21)/(k-4) = (33-29)/(7-k)
8/(k-4) = 4/(7-k)
56-8k = 4k-16
56+16=4k+8k
72 = 12k
6 = k
