I hope you all felt very comfortable taking your reading diagnostic test. Testing is a very important part of the American education system. Many companies use similar tests for employment too. Remember when taking tests to follow these helpful hints for a good test taking experience.
- Get plenty of rest the night before any test. Partying the night away in a nightclub is not recommended the night before any test.
- Eat a well balanced meal the day before a test and the morning of a test. It will give your brain the necessary energy to help you think clearly.
- Drink plenty of water. A hydrated brain is a happy brain.
- Get exercise. Taking breaks while studying is important. As a matter of fact, when you exercise during a break, it gives your brain time to 'digest' all of the information you have crammed into it when studying. Your brain is actually studying the material even while you take your breaks!
- Study for your Unit 1 quiz. Make sure to review vocabulary words, simple past vs. present perfect, writing paragraphs, writing using time expressions and The Monkey's Paw.
- Writing Paragraphs handouts. Read the first two pages. Complete Practice I.
- Do p. 10 A, B, C, & D. You do not have to turn your work into me. It is for practice only.
- Review the first 20 irregular verb conjugations from your handouts.
Happy Studying!
