CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL EXIT EXAMINATIONWhat is the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE)?The CAHSEE is a pass/fail test taken by all 10th grade students. It consists of two parts – English LanguageArts and Mathematics. The English section covers California’s content standards through 1 0th grade in amultiple-choice format with one essay. The math section, completely multiple-choice, covers math standardsthrough 6th and 7th grade and Algebra 1. The essay counts for 20% of the English test score. Approximately60% of responses in English and 55% percent of responses in math must be correct in order to pass thesections, although the state expects to raise the minimum passing scores over time. If students pass one sectionof the test, they do not take that section again. The test is untimed and is administered over two days. Thedates for this year’s CAHSEE tests are February 5-6, 2013.Preparation booklets for the English-Language Arts and Mathematics tests will be distributed to students intheir English classes. Additional copies of these booklets are available in the Guidance Office.Students who progress through grades 10-12 at the normal pace have six opportunities to pass the testduring high school. They may take the test once as sophomores, twice as juniors and three times asseniors.8

SAT Reasoning Test:The College Board is redesigning the SAT and the first administration of the redesigned SATwill be in Spring 2016. The following information is from the College Board ortunity/sat/faqsHow will redesigning the SAT benefit students?The redesigned SAT will ask students to apply a deep understanding of the few skills and contentareas most important for college and career readiness. The questions will be more familiar tostudents because they’ll be modeled on the work of the best classroom teachers. And the CollegeBoard will be open and clear, taking the mystery out of the exam and providing a full SATblueprint before the first administration in spring 2016. Free test preparation is also on the way.How is the SAT changing?The redesigned SAT will be more focused on the few things shown by current research to mattermost in college and career. When students open their test books in spring 2016, they’ll findquestions asking them to support their answers with evidence, vocabulary they’ll use long afterthey’ve taken the exam, an essay prompt asking them to analyze a writer’s argument, andmultistep problems requiring them to apply math in real-world contexts.What will be tested on the redesigned SAT?The redesigned SAT will require students to: Analyze and use reasoning to comprehend challenging literary and informational texts,including texts in science, history, and social studies. Revise and edit extended texts across a variety of academic and career-related contentareas to improve the way ideas are developed, organized, and expressed using StandardWritten English conventions. Show command of a focused but powerful set of skills and understandings in math anduse them to solve problems in science, social studies, and career-related contexts. Make careful and considered use of evidence as they read and write. Analyze data, including data represented graphically, in reading, writing, and mathcontexts. Demonstrate an understanding of vocabulary in context and how word choice affectsmeaning and tone.How long will the redesigned SAT be?The redesigned SAT will be 3 hours long with an additional 50 minutes given for the Essay.Please note: Precise timing is tentative and subject to research.18
What’s the best way for students to prepare for the redesigned SAT?Rigorous course work will be, more than ever, the best preparation for the SAT. As test dayapproaches, students can use free College Board resources to get to know the exam and to buildon their preparation with targeted review and authentic practice.Will the SAT still have an essay section?Yes. Students will be asked to write an essay analyzing a source document. The essay promptwill be shared in advance and will remain consistent; only the passage will change. The Essaysection will no longer be required by the College Board. However, many school districts andcolleges will require students to complete the Essay.Why is the essay optional?There are two main reasons behind the decision to make the essay optional on the redesignedSAT. The editing work students do in the multiple-choice Evidence-Based Reading and Writingsection is deeply predictive of college success. However, one essay alone has not in the pastcontributed significantly to the overall predictive power of the exam. Furthermore, feedbackfrom college admission officers was split; some of them found the essay useful while many didnot.Can students use calculators on the redesigned SAT?A calculator will be allowed on one of two sections in the redesigned SAT Math Test.Calculators are important mathematical tools, and to succeed after high school, students have toknow how to use them effectively and appropriately. But the no-calculator section makes iteasier to assess students’ fluency in math and understanding of math concepts. It also rewardswell-learned technique and number-sense.How will SAT scores change?The redesigned SAT will be scored on a 400- to 1600-point scale. The Evidence-Based Readingand Writing section and the Math section will each be scored on a 200- to 800-point scale.Scores for the Essay section will be reported separately. Another important change is the move torights-only scoring: There will no longer be a penalty for wrong answers. We’ll also introduce anenriched score report that provides more insight into students’ strengths and areas forimprovement, helping teachers and students focus.Will wrong answers still lower SAT scores?Wrong answers will no longer be deducted from a student’s score. The redesigned SAT will userights-only scoring. Students will simply get points for the questions they answer correctly.Rights-only scoring encourages students to give the best answer they have to every problem,without risking a penalty for trying their best.19
