See if anyone is in the MCAS Conference Area: a place to video or text chat (about physics).

Don't forget to get some rest before the big day.
AND BRING A CALCULATOR!

MCAS Prep

The MCAS test is Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.  You've been taking tests with MCAS questions sprinkled in all year, so they won't be anything you haven't seen.  My suggestion:

  1. Review the formula sheet.  A few variables look different, and you should know what units everything is measured in.
  2. Study Guide - questions covering everything we've done this year standard by standard.  This goes for breadth, not depth and is a good way to figure out what areas need further study.
  3. MCAS Tests & Questions - All previous tests and questions are public and can be found online.
  4. Open Response Extra Credit - Earn an extra credit point for each open response MCAS question you answer, grade using the sample work provided, and revise (up to 5). These are due by Wednesday.
As always, all links can also be found on Its Learning.

Don't forget to bring a calculator, and something to read.  Absolutely no cell phones.

Come in with questions Monday!  Good Luck!
