HELPPP MEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Answers:
The tests will tell what you have already learned so that you will be placed in the correct classes. In the area of math the test will probably start out easy with the math that you learned in 5th grade and work up. The score will tell the counselors whether to place you in a general, grade level or advance math class. As an example, you don't want to be in an Algebra II class if you haven't passed Algebra I.
For English, you will most likely write a paragraph & by your score they will be able to tell whether you need a class in basic grammar (spelling & vocabulary), or if you are ready to read and discuss HS level literature.
Nothing you can study for... just try your best.
They're basic test to see what you know in the areas so that the school can place you in a proper math class. It's just general knowledge that won't be too difficult. Don't worry about it. There is no grade attached, most likely. But try your hardest so that you can be in higher level classes.
Depends on the school (i.e. none of us can really know).
If you are nervous and need to do something about it, glance over material you had last year in math and a grammer guide.
But if you tend to remember things and do well on standardized tests you'll probably do well, otherwise probably not as well.
My school's math placement test for high school was an attempt to see if you could learn algebraic concepts (we didn't have algebra available to us until high school). So it was like:
A variable can be used in place of a number. Below x is used like a number.
i.e. 3+2=x
In this case x = 5.
What does x equal below:
3*2=x (and then it had multiple choices)
A variable can also be used in the middle of an equation:
i.e. 3+x=5. In this case, x=2.
Solve for x below (same kind of easy equations).
And it went on, making one wonder if this were a test originally designed for 2nd graders or 8th graders.
