What is the best way to review fourth graders for their MCT state tests?

do something fun . not to bore the kids or anything . some kind of reviewing activity like flash cards or a " mind dump " ( what my 5th grade teacher used to do ) a mind dump is where you take all your knowledge and just write it on a piece of paper. lol . if not then just go original and ask them questions .

I agree w/ "Monte B".  In Virgina Beach, VA there is a couple of elementary schools engaged in year round instruction, and the students assessment has proven to be very positive.

Check out websites of curriculum providers and look for Scope and Sequence charts to see what matches up for what you want to take.\nFor example, I'm using Lifepacs, Alpha Omega publishers. I have a particular sequence I want to follow for her four years of highschool, and I found that Lifepacs follows that sequence the closest.\nThe Scope and Sequence charts are really helpful for things like history, language arts, and elementary level sciences.\nAs for Alg 1 and 2, they are pretty basic, I recommend Saxon or Math U See depending on your choice of media.\nCost? Varies greatly. Lifepacs are $50 per course (average including tax, but not shipping) Saxon can run close to $70 or so and Math U See is top end around $100\nThere are less expensive programs out there, you just have to decide what you are looking for.\nBut check out curriculum providers, and look at their scope and sequence to get an idea of what matches your needs.\nthe best thing about homeschooling is you do not conform to what is offered. You find what meets your needs.

I'll admit  up front: I'm biased. I strongly believe that Kaplan materials are best, since we put more into researching and writing test-like material than most of our competitors make in a year. Get a book and commit yourself to 30 minutes of studies every day, as well as a practice test every weekend. Consider a small private tutoring package if you/your parents can handle the financial commitment. Bottom line: make sure you take at least 2 full-length practice tests and that you carefully review answers&explanations to diagnose (and improve on) your weaknesses.\nLighty\nMaster teacher, San Jose Kaplan center

Use the PRTR method: Preview. Read. Think. Review.\n\nPreview the text by nothing subheadings, bold faced words and maybe making up some questions you to answer as you read.\n\nRead the text carefully, highlighting and making notes as you go along.\n\nGo do something else for an hour but don't watch TV or go on the computer. You will end up thinking about what you read and putting it in your own words.\n\nReview your highlighting, notes and answered questions the day you read the chapter, before a lecture and before a test.

Give them a test.  Ask them questions.  Quiz them.

The best way to find these types of reviews is through an academic journal search engine, like EbscoHost or Academic Search Elite.  Normally these journals allow you to search for full-text articles online.  Your school library should provide access to these; usually you can access them online from home as long as you have your student card or know your access code.  If you have a public library card you may also have access to these journal databases using your library account number (check the homepage of your local library).

Try your Orderly Room or MPF either one should have your test score on file.

Quite frankly, the best way to do this would be to get a book from somewhere like SparkNotes on the writing section of the SATs, read through a few, then find sample essay questions and write your own essays. Have a friend or a teacher look over it. Hell, I'll look over it for you if you want (my e-mail is humphrey09@gmail.com) but you can't study for it just by reading.

take notes and study them. Notes are the best way to remember what you need to know for a test.

I found the following at http://www.nche.com/law.html . It sounds like the easiest thing to do would be to locate a support group that organizes testing.\n\nTesting\nThe state law requires each home school to administer a nationally standardized achievement test, or other nationally standardized equivalent measure to all students. The state does not dictate which test must be given or who is to administer it. If your students are younger than 7, or older than 16 and not desiring to drive, they are not required to be listed on the "Notice of Intent" form and therefore are not required to be tested.\n\nMany local support groups organize group testing for their members. If you are interested in group testing, contact your local support group leader. If you need help in finding the support group nearest you, contact the NCHE office. A good source of information for those who are organizing a group is the NCHE Homeschool Leader's Handbook. \n\nTests may also be ordered and administered individually. Below are sources of some of the commonly used tests. The first two are designed for group testing and are available for all grade levels.\n\nCalifornia Achievement Test\nSource:\nBayside School Services • 800-723-3057\nCrosspointe Educational Services • (919) 577-1238\nSoutheast Educational Associates • (540) 496-7791\nThurber's Educational Assessments• (919) 967-5282\nIowa Test of Basic Skills\nSource: \nBJU Press, Testing Service • (800) 845-5731\nPiedmont Education Services • (336) 924-2494\nWoodcock Johnson Psycho-educational Test \n(designed for individual testing and administrable to all grade levels)\nSource: \nEducational Consultants, Private Schools and Learning Centers. Check the phone book or contact your local support group leader or NCHE.

Contact your school registrar. It's their job to keep a record of exam results.

You could out the ratings of all the schools at their DEpartment of Education and go from there. I hope this helps you.
