Expectations for Computer Usage:
- 1. Be on task at all times. No applications other than the one we are working in should be open.
- 2. Be attentive. Listen to what Mrs. Pack is saying and watch what she is doing on the LCD projector during instruction. Begin the assignment when she tells you to do so.
- 3. Be a hard worker. Use your time wisely and remember that work will be easier with Mrs. Pack and your fellow students to help you when you need it.
- 4. Be proactive. Before you ask Mrs. Pack a technical question, you must first check with two other students closest to you to see if they know the answer.
- 5. Be fully charged. You are responsible for making sure that your computer is charged and ready for use each day.
Things You Can Do to Ace the CST
- 1. Get plenty of sleep the night before each day of the test.
- 2. Have breakfast the day of the test. Food = Brain Power
- 3. Take your time on the test, and read each question carefully.
- 4. Look for keywords and vocabulary you know in each question and the answer choices provided.
- 5. Use process of elimination to get rid of the answers that are definitely wrong.
- 6. Highlight or underline important points (main ideas) in each selection.
- 7. Check your test number and bubble in the correct number carefully when you are told to do so.
- 8. Be careful when you bubble in your answers - don't lose track of where you want to bubble!
- 9. Only answer the amount of questions you are told to complete on a given day.
- 10. Do not talk or distract others during the test. TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.
- 11. Read each selection carefully, and read the questions before you begin reading the selection.
- 12. Read each poem on the test at least twice. Try to "translate" each line so you can figure out what the author is trying to say.
- 13. If you start to get nervous, breathe deeply a couple of times to calm down.
