As part of a look at Georgia Milestones, we asked students, professors, and community members to take a practice quiz featuring some questions that would be on an 8th grade Milestones exam. These questions came from the 2017 8th-grade practice test, which featured four questions from the ELA section and four from the Mathematics section.
We had 33 initial responses to the quiz but you can still take the practice test we created here. Below is a look at the questions with answers and a look at how everyone performed:
