Follow Tutor's Notes from College Board to organize today at SAT

Follow this checklist!!


For today, just read these 2 tiny, brief paragraphs; then, move on down to the quoted checklist of what to take today! If you get rushed today, on't even work the math problem for the day.  Just notice the tip that follows, then go on to the LIST below of what to take, etc.
Today's math question is about ratio. To solve the problem, you need to notice that if you move the decimal over two spaces to the right on the .06, you have 6 alone. Glancing over the answers below, the numbers are far different from one another.
Check other columns in archive on this site http://www.coolrocketschool.org/ to find mnemonics to use in test taking.


(Beginning of checklist from the college board site for teachersI):




Students should group together everything they must bring for the test beforehand. They must bring:






Admission Ticket






Acceptable photo ID (international restrictions may apply)






Two No. 2 pencils and a good eraser; no pens or mechanical pencils



Acceptable calculator with fresh batteries; students are not required to clear the memory on their calculatorsIt's also a good idea to bring: ...(See the entire list below, after my summary, and print this out if you are taking the test on Saturday. The list is written in the third person because this checklist is from the website for the teachers.)...See below for the rest of these important instructions.


You can take a watch. Be careful not to have a 'beeping' watch. No sounds are allowed from your watch! A simple, inexpensive watch with a clock face (as opposed to digital) will show you time left in each section.




If you follow my http://www.coolrocketschool.org/ site, you know that I examine the SAT question for the day to offer strategies to use every day, carrying the principles over to other content areas and to life decisions, as well. I am certified as an English, Gifted, Reading, and Exceptional Education teacher. I have four certifications in Exceptional Education as a result of extensive training in differentiating instruction to take advantage of the individual student's learning style. More information about differentiating instruction for students with difficulties is revealed in my work with gifted students.
