CAHSEE

After two days of CAHSEE testing, we finished the final section of math.  The California High School Exit Examination or CAHSEE, is a test required for any high school graduate by the state of California.  I found that my math classes had prepared me for this exam, but if I have to pick an area I feel I did best in I would have to say the word problems.  I find it easy to work through them and set them up.  When I came across problems that I found more challenging I read through them first to understand what the problem was asking, then re-read it to find the important information and mostly used testing skills I have learned throughout the years.  Throughout the math section I used a few habits of a mathematician including solve a simpler problem and be systematic; these both helped when solving problems that had multiple steps and be able to come up with an answer.  I don’t think there was much I had trouble with.  I would mostly like to improve on the math skills I have now and continue to learn more.
