New Hampshire Grade 4 Science FAQ
Does New Hampshire test science in grade 4?
No. New Hampshire gives NH SAS Science in grades 5 and 8, so grade 4 students do not sit a state science test this year. New Hampshire also gives once in high school. The standards on this page are still the ones grade 4 teachers teach, and they are what the next science test builds on.
Which standards does grade 4 science in New Hampshire follow?
New Hampshire follows the New Hampshire College and Career Ready Science Standards / NGSS, published by the New Hampshire Department of Education. All 17 of this grade's standards are listed further down the page with their official codes.
How long are the practice tests?
Each of the six practice tests has 30 questions and a 55-minute timer. The timer auto-submits at zero and you get your score, a breakdown by science area, and a written explanation for every question.
Is any of this free?
Yes, every practice test, quiz, and flashcard set on this page is free and needs no login. Your progress is saved in your own browser and nowhere else.
What is the fastest way to use this page?
Take practice test 1 cold. Look at the topic breakdown, pick the weakest science area, and do that skill quiz. Then read the quick review for that area and come back for practice test 2.
