ISAT
During March 3-14, 2009, students in grades 3-8 will take the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT). The ISAT is the test used to measure Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Students are tested in reading and math in Grades 3-8 and science in Grades 4 and 7. Beginning with the 2007 exam, students in Grades 5 and 8 will be tested in writing.
Parents can play an important role in getting students ready for the test. Here are suggestions on how parents can help their children prepare for the ISAT:
- Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep the night before the test.
- Make sure your child eats breakfast the day of the test.
- Make sure your child wears comfortable clothes on the day of the test.
- Let your child know that he or she should take the test seriously and do his or her best.
- Talk to your child about what to do while taking the test, including:
-paying attention to directions
