backup test

No amount of test prep tutoring, practice, careful review, or lost Saturdays and Sundays can make up for lack of sleep  the night before test day.  Put simply, sleep deprivation is death to test scores.  Without sufficient sleep, all that effort and personal sacrifice go right out the door. It’s vital that students give themselves the best possible chance of success on test day. “Stupid stuff” can sink math scores like nothing else, and must be assiduously avoided. Don’t ruin you score over stupid stuff! To perform at your best, you should: 1. Get eight to nine hours of sleep on each of the three nights immediately preceding test day. 2. Drink extra water on each of the three days immediately preceding test day. 3. Go to bed 30 minutes early, and get up in the morning 15 minutes early, on each of the three days immediately preceding test day, using the extra waking minutes to study your most important test prep notes. 4. “Night before, stuff at the door.” Before going to ...

After trying and failing to find a comprehensive online resource that thoroughly detailed math content covered on the dSAT, I finally decided to put together my own. I've also written a companion piece on dSAT Reading and Writing Topics . Questions in the Math section of the dSAT cover four broad topic areas: Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, and Geometry/Trigonometry. The entire Math section is 70 minutes long with 44 multiple-choice questions. - Modules Two math modules: Each module is 35 minutes long, with 22 questions (1:35 per question) 75% multiple choice (33 questions), 25% student produced response (11 questions) 30% in-context word problems (≤ 50 words) Progressive difficulty (easiest first, hardest last) Calculators are allowed – but don't use a handheld – learn to use Desmos, instead Questions from each topic area appear in each module - Algebra 35%: 13-15 questions total Linear equations in one variable (analyze, solve, create) Linear equati...
