These 3 test prep guides are our favourite EQAO practice test grade 3 options. They include practice tests designed to be very similar to the actual test the students will be taking, and many of the questions are asked in a similar way so that students can get familiar with the questioning format. The guides are available for the following subjects:
Grade 3 Language: Includes lots of reading and writing practice with 10 tests in total.
Grade 3 Math: Features questions that target specific math skills to practice & questions that have students identifying and practicing a combination of all the math skills; 10 tests in total.
Grade 3 Math & Math: Combines all the elements of both guides in one! Includes 10 language tests and 10 math tests.
These guides are available as e-books or enhanced e-books which allow students to enter their answers right into the workbook from their electronic devices.
Why We Like It:
We like these products because they are very thorough. They give teachers and students plenty of opportunities to practice and review a variety of specific skills without being too much to add to your already-busy schedule.

Final Thoughts From EZ-Teach
We hope you found something helpful in this list of EQAO practice test grade 3 options. It is important that grade 3 students practice before the test so that they build confidence and perform at their best. Here are some tips for helping your child practice:
Don’t do too much work at once; try a couple of questions a day well ahead of the test week.
Vary up your practice - Watch a video one time and then try using the online EQAO sample test program to mix it up.
Pick out some language and math terms that you see in the test questions and ask your child to explain them to you; if they don’t know them, then you’ll know what they need help with.
Practice some stress-relieving exercises like deep breathing or visual imagery.
Unless you homeschool your child, talk to your child’s teacher to see what review might be helpful.
There are different ways to help your child prepare for the test and to help reduce their test anxiety, but you can also reassure them that the test results do not affect their grades (though it might help explain their strengths and weaknesses). Above all, remind them that no test result can define their worth.
