Why you need this testbook . . . .

It’s the law
By law, your students must take the state test on U.S. Government.
But test-taking is a skill - and students need practice.

It’s like learning to drive . . .
Before you get your license, you must take Driver’s Ed course and practice driving down the road.
This gives you confidence for the day you go down and take the driver’s exam.
(It takes guts to get behind the wheel.)
The same is true for U.S. Government.
In order to feel confident and do well on the state test, your students must practice.

Fill in the gaps!
U.S. Government contains 543 terms.
Maybe . . .
You missed one or two terms thanks to an assembly or snow day.
The sickly student was absent the day you covered it.
The foreign student can read English better than hearing it.
The skateboarders and hiphoppers actually learn best by trial and error.
The right-brainers need to see (and feel) the whole shebang.
The left-brainers take this test and finally come to appreciate the logic of U.S. government.
Whichever . . .

The lovely folks who wrote your state test
Using Bloom’s taxonomy, each of the 543 terms can be asked in six different ways.
For this reason, we have provided 3,261 questions.

Time is your enemy . . .
If you had two weeks to spare (ha-ha), students could take this test in class.
Working in pairs, students could guess and then check their answers.

But we live in the real world.
Where the school year is just 180 days.
So why not put this - “The Mother of All Tests” - on your classroom website?
Students can do it - for homework - over two weeks.

The result?
Students get the necessary practice.
And YOU do not have to grade the test.

A long-term investment . . .
You will use this testbook for YEARS to come.
