CAHSEE Information

For those of you who are looking for more information on the CAHSEE, I would highly suggest checking out Ace Your Exit Exam. This website has lots of information about the CAHSEE and how to prepare for the exam. This site has free video lessons and lots of sample questions. I would definitely recommend reviewing some of their free material prior to taking the actual exam. If you are looking for more information you may want to check out subscribing to their CAHSEE prep service. While I have never actually seen their paid material, based on the free stuff, I would probably recommend giving it a shot. It is definitely worthwhile for those of you who are struggling to pass. Good luck and let me know if you need any more assistance.

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.
