Algebra 1 CBE — Practice Tests & Mock Exams
Linear equations, inequalities, functions, quadratics, and polynomials. Covers TEKS §111.39.
Practice tests & mock exams
Free practice gives instant feedback on every answer. The full mock mirrors the real exam's length and timing.
How the practice works
Passing-score thresholds vary by district (Texas state code: 80% for §28.023 acceleration, 70% for §74.24 prior-instruction credit). Confirm your specific district's threshold with your school counselor in writing.
The Texas STAAR Algebra 1 EOC tests the same TEKS standard our practice covers. The same purchase serves both CBE and STAAR EOC preparation. How the overlap works →

Algebra 1 CBE — Frequently asked questions
How hard is the Algebra 1 Credit by Exam?
The Algebra 1 CBE matches the rigor of a year-long Algebra 1 course. Expect linear and quadratic functions, systems of equations, exponential models, and data analysis. With consistent TEKS-aligned practice, most students who score 85%+ on our mock exams pass on their first attempt.
What topics are on the Algebra 1 CBE?
The Algebra 1 CBE covers all six TEKS reporting categories: Number and Algebraic Methods; Describing and Graphing Linear Functions; Writing and Solving Linear Functions; Quadratic Functions and Equations; Exponential Functions and Equations; and Number and Algebraic Methods (data). Both Semester A and Semester B exams sample across these standards.
How long is the Algebra 1 CBE?
The official Algebra 1 CBE through UT High School runs about 3 hours with around 50–57 multiple-choice and grid-in items. Our mock exams use the same length and timing so your practice mirrors test-day conditions exactly.
What is the passing score for Algebra 1 CBE?
You need 70% to earn the credit. Because the exam covers a full year of material, scoring above 80% on practice mocks gives you a comfortable margin against test-day variance.
Do I need a calculator for the Algebra 1 CBE?
Yes — the Algebra 1 CBE allows a graphing calculator (typically TI-84 or equivalent). Our practice questions match this format, so you can rehearse using the same tools you'll have on exam day.
How is Texas CBE™ different from a Khan Academy review?
Khan Academy teaches Algebra 1 broadly. Texas CBE™ is built specifically around the TEKS standards the CBE actually tests, in the same multiple-choice format, with full-length mock exams scored at the 70% threshold. We focus your prep where it counts for credit.
I'm not in Texas — does Algebra 1 prep here still apply?
Yes. The Algebra 1 skills our practice drills — linear and quadratic functions, systems, exponentials, polynomials — are the same content taught in every state's Algebra 1 course. Our questions are TEKS-aligned by origin but the math is universal. Students in 9 U.S. states and 5 countries currently use the platform. For NY Regents Algebra I specifically see our prep guide; for NJGPA (NJ), B.E.S.T. (FL), SOL (VA), EOC (OH), LEAP (LA), and CA we publish state-by-state guides.
