Today students took the midterm exam which covers learning spanning the 1st semester. This should be somewhat of a reflection of what you learned over the first half of the year and will be posted on HAC but with no weight scale. This test is an acuity test created by state sponsored test builders and consists of 35 multiple choice questions. These questions are on the difficult side and are of the nature of an ECA exam. Students could not really study for this exam as it covers a massive amount of information.
We will be having a pre-test tomorrow and will be information yet to come in quarters 3 and 4 (2nd semester).
Social studies in the sixth grade requires an end of course assessment (ECA) and it will be given near the end of the 4th quarter. The ECA will be scored for a weighted grade that will be credited to the fourth quarter and we will study appropriate vocabulary associated with the exam as well as curriculum concepts.
