High-stakes testing is a fact of life in the state of Georgia. Like it or not, every single student in the Georgia public school system will be forced to either pass a test, or repeat a grade.

Many students fear tests, and many more do not know how to properly approach them. Still others lack the necessary knowledge and background to receive passing scores.

Being held back a grade is nothing short of devastating. Study after study has shown that students forced to repeat a grade Are significantly more likely to drop out of high school, abuse drugs, and engage in other dangerous behavior.

So, what can be done to help Georgia’s students? The first step is knowledge of the test.

The following tests are required for promotion in 2006:

Grade 3 Reading CRCT

Grade 5 Reading and Math CRCT

Grade 8 Reading and Math CRCT

The Georgia High School Writing Test

The Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT) - All 5 sections:

• English/Language Arts
• Mathematics
• Science
• Social Studies
• Reading

Students are given the opportunity to retake tests that they do not pass on their first opportunity, but why not try a practice test before taking the actual assessment?
