CAHSEE PREPARATION

 

Below are the links to assist with passing the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE.) There are many ways to use these links. 

For 9th and 10th graders, download and complete ALL of the guides.  After taking a practice test and scoring, determine if more intense intervention is needed.

For 10th, 11th and 12th graders who already have their scores, look at the scores and decide which area the student needs help with and download the specific strand.  Download the practice tests, take them, and for any unknown answers or concepts, speak to an ES for assistance and possibly tutoring.

The additional practice questions are a very good resource as well.  They are broken down by strand.
