But unlike exams you may have taken in the past, the tests don't want memorization of times and places but the use of evidence to answer questions and draw conclusions. The math is around 55% algebra so that might need some review, but it is mostly Algebra 1 and, I promise, is manageable. You can do this....

If a student needs help with an essay assignment, I recount my writing process, which includes brainstorming, prewriting, and revising again and again. I also try to be silent periodically, to give the students time to think and prepare and to share their needs and questions. I also am not afraid...

...be afraid to make mistakes! Getting the answer wrong or even a bad grade is such a great tool for learning if you stay engaged and you know it does not define your abilities nor intelligence!
