Due April 1

NO BENCHMARK THIS WEEK!!! We will start taking them again after spring break until we get scores back.

Blog: What helped you prepare for the GHSGT SS portion?  Was it the benchmarks? Was it staying afterschool and reviewing with me? Was is paying attention in your SS classes? Was it the Question/Word of the day? 

If you haven't taken the test yet: describe what you'd heard people say about it and how YOU intend to prepare to pass the test.

  3. I think it was everything starting from paying attention in class,the benchmarks,and all the notes we took for those 2 weeks,Even though most of the things we went over wasn't on there,From everything we talked about i could still answer some of the questions i didnt know.I think i did pretty good

  5. your study guides were very beneficial while preparing for the GHSGT. However, the most helpful were the benchmarks. truthfully they are a pain to do, but they paid off in the long run. i learned a lot when taking them because usa test prep explains each answer after taking the tests, and why they are either wrong or right.

  10. I believe that the benchmarks was the closest thing to helping me with the GHSGT. Most of the questions I could refer back to the benchmark. I think doing those every week help better prepare me for the test.

  11. Paying attention in class and studing the notes

  12. i think the bell worked helped the most and the test was long and boring.

  13. the way i passed it was just from paying attention in class and stopping to eliminate answers. Most answers i think were actually just really good guesses

  18. I have previously taken the Graduation Test . I didn't like all the studying like the test was extremely hard. The school pushed us too much.All the cramming everyday like the bell works or the practice tests become boring and less effective. But If you have passed all of your classes or have paid attention there's nothing to be worried about. But I'm pretty sure that If you know you need the help, use the advantages available like studying after school, or signing on to USA test prep.

    what helped prepare for the GHSGT was the benchmark we did last semster and this semester as well and also doing activities online that they had to offer. What also helped me was being in your class last semester since i got a general idea of some parts in history. mrs. windhams class of current isuues also helped me alot since i understood how todays problems came from a small problem that grew within time so therfore doing benchmarks, actvities, and having your class and mrs. windhams class helped me out tremendously .

  27. Having you go over it thoroughly really helped and all of those definitions ended up being a big help! I feel that I did well on the test but I was nervous and skeptical about it all to begin with.

  30. The benchmarks , question of the day , && word of the day helped alot with preparation for the ghgt. i learned alot from doing the bellwork assignments and also practicing with the benchmark test. i also played the games that were on the website so that i was having fun while learning. The word of the day was very usefel because i became familiar with alot of the social studies terms.

  31. Before I took the Graduation test. I had no prior review due to my classes last year.I took the social studies part and did very well.

  32. For me, when I took the test. The number one thing that helped me the most was all my classes before then. The benchmarks helped me review but without my SS classes i wouldve been so lost.

  33. What really helped me was just paying attention in class. I like social studies anyways so paying sttention wasnt hard for me anyways. But a few weeks before the GHSGT I just buckeled down and really started reviewing and when it came time for the test I wasnt stressed I went in their knowing I was going to pass it.
