EOG Links

Welcome to the week before EOG's! Our preparation is going very well, but there are a few more resources available to you to prepare on your own. I would STRONGLY encourage you to use them in the time between today and actually sitting for the EOG's.

1) This link is from the North Carolina DPI website. It gives sample questions from all five mathematics goals, and the answers, and some tips for answering the questions. Click this link here.
2) This link is last year's EOG Exam in its entirety. You can use this as another reference to study from and get a feel for the type of questions and how they are presented. This is also the test we are using on Tuesday to practice from. The link is here.

I will be having after school tutoring on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week. I encourage all students to join us. Our daily work in my EOG Review Workbook will continue this week with the last assignment given on Friday. If you have any questions at all, please email me.

Regarding calculators, if any students wish to use their own calculator for the EOG exam on Wednesday (calculator active) they are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to do so. Your calculator must be handed in on Monday, May 17th so it can be prepared for the exam on Wednesday. Again, any questions, please email me.

Thanks, and keep working smart!
