Pre-test on Tuesday 9/13

Early next week, all of the 9th grade Algebra 2 classes will have a pre‑test covering the Algebra 1 skills and concepts that are prerequisite for this course. The purpose of the pre-test is to see whether you know Algebra 1 well enough to be prepared for Honors Algebra 2.
For our class, the pre-test will be on Tuesday, September 13. For fairness, since some students may not have calculators yet, the pre-test will be a no-calculator test.
If you fully learned Algebra 1 last year, you might not have to study for this pre-test. However, for those who wish to do some reviewing, the following resources will be useful:

• Lexington Algebra 1 topic outline
  
• Questions and answers from the pre-tests we gave in 2003 and 2004 (find under Departmental exam archive)
  

The pre-test will not count toward your grade, but it will be a chance to see whether you have already learned the things you are supposed to have learned before taking this year’s course. If it turns out that you have a few gaps in your knowledge, the pre-test will help you identify where you need to fill in. If you have serious difficulty on the pre-test, it might mean that you’d be better off in a different level or a different course. It’s not too late to switch classes if you decide that you’re misplaced.
