​KOSSA Benchmark Papers provide released items from selected KOSSA tests from previous years.  These papers provide an annotated guide based on the rubric to explain why a paper received the score it did.  In addition there are teaching strategies designed to help teachers better prepare students for this type of assessment.  Note:  All KOSSA areas do not currently have the KOSSA Benchmark Papers.  This is an involved process and takes a great deal of time.

​KOSSA Released Scenarios
