CST time!

It's CST time! California State Tests for those of you who don't know what it stands for. It's also commonly called STAR tests. Most people don't really stress over these tests but nevertheless some studying/ reviewing never hurts! If you are not already in IB or TT, the STAR test may have an impact on your placement/courses! So, don't do something stupid and purposely bomb the test. Just try your best! I usually take a practice test first so I can determine how much studying needs to be done. Other people study first and then take the test. If you do not think you are adequately prepared for the test then I advise you to study first. But if you are like me and you think you are decently prepared, take the test first and see how you do. The most efficient way to prepare for this is to read the standards that will be tested in the exam (typically the first few pages in a released exam). I find that this is most helpful for science. For subject specifics, English is hard to study for because most questions are reading comprehension/ analysis and for Math you need to know the standards that will be tested and practice them!
