Are you getting ready to take the pre-algebra placement test in 6th grade? Or for the unlucky ones like myself, are you taking it in 7th grade because you moved to a new school district? I went through it last month, so thought I'd share some prep tips with you - while it is still fresh in my mind!!
- BACK TO BASICS. Basic math is KEY. Review fractions, percentages, and decimals.
- Make sure to go over the graphing inequalities. Learn how to use a graph to express inequalities. (Check out Khan acadamy - they have some cool videos that'll help you learn these concepts)
- Work on Least Common Multiple and Greatest Common Factor.
- Exponents was a big part of my tests - so make sure you brush up on that.
- Do you know how to simplify expressions? Make sure you do! This is all over the test.
