The Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) is an English language proficiency assessment aligned to the Texas English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS). This assessment is designed to assess the progress that emergent bilingual (EB) students make in learning the English language. TELPAS fulfills ESSA requirements for assessing EB students in kindergarten through grade 12 in four language domains: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Grades K-1 include:

holistically rated observational assessments of listening, speaking, reading and writing
Grades 2-12 include online tests for:

listening and speaking

reading and writing

Who Is Tested?

All EB students in kindergarten through grade 12 enrolled in Texas public schools or open-enrollment charter schools are required to participate in TELPAS. EB students are required to be assessed annually with an English language proficiency assessment until they meet EB reclassification criteria.

TEA releases two types of test questions for TELPAS-test forms and sample questions. A test form is a set of released test questions previously administered together to Texas students and reflects the TELPAS test blueprints. Sample test questions are small subsets of test questions released from the TELPAS test banks. These test questions may have been previously administered.

Released test questions for TELPAS grades 2-12 online assessments are available on the Practice Test Site. Beginning in spring 2023, the TELPAS writing assessment was combined with the online reading assessment for grades 2-12.

Click on the tabs below to find each year's released test forms or sample test questions.
