Sample performance tasks from 2021 and 2022 are currently available on the Pearson website. These performance tasks do not reflect all aspects of the anticipated final task design; however, they do include storylines and interactive simulations which are part of the new design.
A newly revised task in each grade is expected to be available on the new MCAS testing platform in late January 2025. This page will be updated once those tasks become available.
In school year 2025-2026, it is expected that two additional practice performance tasks for each grade will be available in the new testing platform.
