Previous Years' Ciphering Questions
Previous Years' 6th Grade Written Test
Previous Years' 5th Grade Written Test
Older Written Tests
Prior to 2006, there were no separate 5th and 6th grade tests. Everyone took the same test and we separated 5th and 6th grades for the awards. Also, these tests would be prior to GPS or Common Core. They could still be useful for practice and therefore I am including them as well.
