TechTest Jr
Teachers, register your teams by Jan. 31, 2024. Teams will receive testing date notifications via email.
These practice tests are essential for exam preparation. Each test comes in two versions: one without solutions for independent student practice and one with detailed solutions as a guide for problem-solving and critical thinking.
Note that the 2018 to 2023 tests offer more detailed solutions, closely resembling the 2024 test format. However, it's important to clarify that no questions from previous years are reused. These tests aim to familiarize students with the question style and format they can expect.
TechTest Jr. Math Competition for Grades 5-8 - TechTest Jr. is a math examination focused on problem-solving and critical thinking for 5th to 8th-grade students across Nevada County schools. This event offers more than just a test; it includes tours and demonstrations, providing students a glimpse into the world of high-tech industries.
