Spring Break Homework

  1. Your homework over Spring Break is to continue to read every night. Your reading should total roughly 300 pages over the course of the vacation.
  2. We want you to take the practice tests we gave you before break started. There are different directions for 7th and 8th grade:
    • 8th Grade: You have two practice tests. Form A can be taken without timing yourself. For Form B, you should time yourself as follows: Session 1 = 55 minutes; Session 2 = Skip (This is the listening section); Session 3 = 60 minutes. Links to past 8th grade exams can be found here.
    • 7th Grade: You  have one practice test. You should time yourself to see how well you are able to pace yourself, as follows: Session 1 = 60 minutes; Session 2a = Skip (This is the listening section); Session2b = 10 minutes (editing paragraph). Links to past 7th grade exams can be found here.
    • If you have an IEP and know how much extended time you are entitled to on the test, adust your time accordingly.
