Preparing for the STAR Tests

(STAR stands for standardized testing and reporting)

You have one week to get ready. What should you do???

#1. Know what tests you are taking. Students in high school will take different tests depending on what classes they are taking. In general all students take the ELA (English Language). All 10th graders take a grade level science test and all 11th graders take a grade level history test. If you are in the second half of: Algebra, Algebra2, or Geometry, Biology, Earth Science or World History you will take a subject test in that as well. If you don't know what tests you are taking, email me and I will look it up for you.

#2. Review. Go back and look at ALL of your STAR test practice assignments on Launchpad. Review them. Redo them. Look up the answers or email me if you can't find the correct answer. Study those questions.

#3. Practice Daily! Go to http://starsamplequestions.org/ and spend 30-45 minutes a day on practice questions for each subject you are testing in. Study the questions you get wrong. Take notes and review them at the end of every day.

ASK ME IF YOU WANT HELP!!!
