Parent Guide to LEAP Practice Tests
Practice tests allow students to become familiar with the testing format and respond to some of the types of questions they may find on the LEAP 2025 or LEAP Connect tests. Practice tests allow parents to better understand how the tests compare to classroom work and see the types of questions students will be responding to on the tests.
