Another CAHSEE Preparation Tip

Continuing with the CAHSEE prep tip series today's tip is going to help students build confidence with one area of the exam at a time. This is really an extension of the last CAHSEE tip, which said that you should do at least 5 problems from the same content standard in each of your study sessions. Here is today's tip:

Today's Tip: Focus on studying one content area at a time.

This extends directly from the idea that studying one standard at a time is the best way to gain confidence. Once you feel comfortable with one standard in a particular content area, you are much more likely to feel comfortable with the other standards in that same area. Remember that many of the standards are related and build on one another so the stronger your foundation becomes then the more likely you are to be successful on the day of the exam. So to recap if you are studying one standard in the Number Sense strand then you should study all of the standards in the Number Sense strand prior to moving on to any of the other math content areas. Mathematics is cumulative and doing this type of CAHSEE preparation is sure to boost both your confidence and your score.
