Introduction to the StudentOn the first day of science class, you will receive a copy of the academic standards for theTennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) for science. Your teachers willincorporate the standards and the appropriate course content into the classroom curriculum.The questions in this workbook are aligned with the State Performance Indicators and aredesigned to assess your mastery of these standards. These academic standards and questionsencompass Inquiry, Technology and Engineering, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, andPhysical Science.Copyright Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.The sample questions in this workbook are representative of the questions used on the TCAPAchievement Test. These questions are only a sample of what you should expect to encounteron the actual examination.ivMastering the TCAP, Grade 7
OverviewThe material in this workbook is designed to prepare you for the science portion of the TCAPAchievement Test. It contains: a Student Recording Chart,the Tennessee Science State Performance Indicators,a Diagnostic Test,indicator practice for each indicator,and a Posttest.How to Use this BookDiagnostic Test This test will help you identify any content that you need to review as youprepare to take the TCAP Achievement Test. Once you have taken the Diagnostic Test and it hasbeen graded, complete the Student Recording Chart on page vi. Circle each question that youanswered incorrectly. If there is a circle marked for an indicator, write YES in the Need Practice?question box. Then complete the page of practice questions for that indicator.Standards Practice If you incorrectly answered questions for a particular indicator, you couldprobably use some extra practice with that indicator. The Student Recording Chart lists a practicepage for each indicator. Complete the appropriate practice page. If you are unsure about how toanswer some of the questions, you might want to refer to your science book.Copyright Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Posttest After you have completed the practice worksheet(s), take the Posttest on pages 41–46.Test-Taking TipsBefore the Test: Be sure to get plenty of sleep the week before the test. A healthy amount of sleep is eight tonine hours every night.On the night before the test, try to do something relaxing but stimulating, such as playing aboard game, exercising, or reading an enjoyable book. Cramming the night before the test canhamper your memory and make you tired.On the morning of the test, eat a healthy breakfast with fresh foods.On the morning of the test, clear your mind of any outside distractions so that you will bebetter able to focus on the test. If breaks are given during the test, use that time to relax andclear your mind.During the Test: Listen and read all directions.Be sure you understand the questions before reading the answer choices. Then, make sure toread and consider every answer choice.Remember to carefully consider all the information presented in the test’s graphics.If the test is timed, be sure to pace yourself.Always choose an answer. By eliminating as many incorrect choices as possible, you willhave a good chance at guessing correctly and obtaining more points.Mastering the TCAP, Grade 7v
