PSAE Practice for High School Social Studies
|
|
 |
The Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE) measures the achievement of grade 11 students in reading, mathematics, science, and writing. The PSAE includes three components:
• The ACT Plus Writing, which includes the ACT battery of four multiple-choice tests (English, mathematics, reading, and science) and a 30-minute constructed-response writing test with a single prompt question
• An ISBE-developed science assessment
• Two WorkKeys assessments (Applied Mathematics and Reading for Information)
Below you will find links to access district practice material for the PSAE. This year's tests are scheduled for April 28-29, 2010. It is very important that each student is prepared to do his/her very best both of these days! |

Test-Taking Strategies – A Game Plan to Win
From McGraw-Hill
"Games and tests seem like they couldn’t be more dissimilar. Actually, they have more in common than you might think. If you were to prepare for a test the way you might prepare for a big game, you’d probably make a game plan. OK, so the test probably isn’t nearly as much fun as a game, but your goal is the same–to win. Here are a few tips for winning at the testing game." |
Accuplacer Sample Questions
From the College Board
"The purpose of ACCUPLACER tests is to provide you with useful information about your academic skills in math, English, and reading. The results of the assessment, in conjunction with your academic background, goals, and interests, are used by academic advisors and counselors to determine your course selection. You can not "pass" or "fail" the placement tests, but it is very important that you do your very best on these tests so that you will have an accurate measure of your academic skills." |
