STAR Test Math

got from http://blog.spaldingacademy.k12.ne.us/sa/files/2010/09/math-3.gif

In our class we took practice problems for the STAR test. One thing i learned from doing this was read the question very carefully. Sometimes the questions can be very tricky and you might think it said something but it might have said something else, which will effect your test score.


Another great thing i learned was guessing. Everyone comes along really hard questions in this test and many people don't want to waste time so they circle a random answer to move on. It only takes a couple more seconds if you just read the problem and then take away the answers that you think that are wrong immediately so you have a 50-50 % chance that you will get the answer and for me this has been a great help

One more strategy that i learned was to check your work to see if you missed a step in a math problem or if you read the math question wrong then it would be better if you correct it then skip it and not care about it because it will effect your grade alot. You would be really suprized if you look back and see how many problems you might have skipped or did it wrong.
