CST Test Preparation and Review

By: Oscar Arriaga Period 1, Computers

About The Test


CST stands for California Standardized Test. It is major component of the STAR It has a total of four subjects in it; English Language arts(ELA), math, science, and history- social science.

How I've Prepared For The CST


I have been reviewing CST release questions with my teachers and peers. I have been studying for the CST. I have been doing all my work and reviewing it so I can understand the subject better.

How SFMS Teachers Have Prepared Me For The CST


The teachers have prepared by assigning me work so that I can understand more. Teachers have given me and my peers CST release questions. Teachers have helped us study for the CSTs

Test Taking Tips: The Night and Morning Before

One tip is to go to sleep early. A second tip is to study the night before. Another tip is to eat a healthy breakfast in the morning before the CST

Test Taking Tips: During The Test


One tip during the test is to be focused by not talking or getting distracted. A second tip is too read the questions carefully. A third tip is to not take too much time on just one question. A fourth tip is to go over all your answers and make sure they're correct. A last tip is to not get nervous and scared and to try your best.

Math Tips
One tip for the Math in the CST is to go over the question to understand it. A second tip is to show your work and go over it. A third tip is to not take too much time on one question. Another tip is to not get nervous if you get to difficult question. A last tip is to not make any silly mistakes.

English Tips

One tip for the English section of the CST is to make flash cards. A second tip is to study. A third tip is to read the questions carefully. A fourth tip is to not think to much and get nervous. A the last tip is that if you are going to guess, guess wisely.

Powers and Exponents


An exponent is a positive or negative number or 0 placed above and to the right of a quantity. It expresses the power to which the quantity is to be raised or lowered. If the exponent is negative, such as 42, the number and exponent may be dropped under the number 1 in a fraction to remove the negative sign. Two specific types of powers should be noted: squares and cubes. To square a number, just multiply it by itself the way you'd find the area of a square (the exponent is 2). To cube a number, just multiply it by itself twice the way you'd find the volume of a cube (the exponent is 3). To multiply two numbers with exponents, if the base numbers are the same, simply keep the base number and add the exponents.

Integers
The term integers refers to all the whole numbers together with their oppositesnot fractions or decimals. On a number line, numbers to the right of 0 are positive. Numbers to the left of 0 are negative. When adding two integers with the same sign (either both positive or both negative), add the integers and keep the same sign. When adding two integers with different signs (one positive and one negative), subtract the integers and keep the sign on the one with the larger value. To subtract positive and/or negative integers, just change the sign of the number being subtracted and then use the rules for adding integers.

Example
Problem: George owes his friend Jeanne $3. If he borrows another $6, how much will he owe her altogether? Solution:This problem is quite simple: just add $3 and $6 and the result is $9. The problem above can be solved using addition of integers. Owing $3 can be represented by -3 and owing $6 can be represented by -6. The problem becomes:-3 + -6 = -9
Look at the number line below. If we start at 0, and move 3 to the left, we land on -3. If we then move another 6 to the left, we end up at -9.

Simile
A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things through some connective, usually "like," "as," "than," or a verb such as "resembles. A simile differs from a metaphor in that the latter compares two unlike things by saying that the one thing is the other thing. A simile can explicitly provide the basis of a comparison or leave this basis implicit. In the implicit case the simile leaves the audience to determine for themselves which features of the target are being predicated. It may be a type of sentence that uses 'as' or 'like' to connect the words being compared. The use of 'as' makes the simile more explicit. Sometimes similes are submerged, used without using comparative words ('Like' or 'As').
