CAHSEE EXAM MARCH 11th

The CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam) is fast approaching (Tuesday, March 11th).  While we have been working on the skills that you will be tested upon throughout the school year, and focusing on test-taking strategies as of late, it will be beneficial for you to study and prepare yourself for the examination.  As such, I recommend that you use the "Preparing for the California High School Exit Examination" workbook that you each received at the beginning of the school-year.  This workbook contains actual passages and questions that have appeared on past examinations, offering insights to the types of questions that you will be facing on the exam.  The workbook also offers the correct answer along with an explanation as to how one comes to the correct conclusion for the type of question.  While it would be ideal to read through it all in preparation for the exam, I recommend as a minimum that you look at the sections with which you personally struggle.  Every question counts on this exam and it works to your advantage to prepare in every way possible.  I am confident that you will all do well with the exam if you simply prepare and offer your best efforts.  Best wishes.
