How to Prepare
- There's a magnifier, a line reader mask (great for focusing!) and the ability to change the background and font colors, to make reading for long period easier on the eyes.
- This tutorial includes information for both the ELA and Math online tests.
Teachers: Would you like me to come to class to do a student tutorial?
Teachers: Would you like me to come to class to do a student tutorial?
The practice test is great for students to get a feel of the test before they take it.
- Try to match the testing environment as closely as possible (if the students will take the test on chromebooks, it would be best to practice on chromebooks).
- Have students explore the tools they will have available to them that they learned in the tutorial. For example, the notepad is a great tool, but students should know that it resets on each page. The only way to copy and paste from the notepad on one page to another is to use the command keys (Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V).
- On any school chromebook before you sign in, select "Apps" in the bottom left corner of the screen and then "Test Nav" to practice. Or use the links below from any computer.
- There's much more than just the practice test. Make sure to check out all of the resources. For example, the 10th grade ELA page provides sample prompts with graded student work samples!
- Some accommodations are available to all students. See the complete list here.
- Some accommodations are universal (available to all) but must be requested in advance. These are:
- Alternative Background and Font Color
- Answer Masking Tool
- Email kjopson@northampton-k12.us if you would like to use either of these tools.
- Check with your teacher if you believe you will have a special accommodations on test day.
- If you have a graphic organizer accommodation, graphic organizers will be provided to you on test day.
