Mr. Parmeter's Algebra 1 classes are practicing for the upcoming Keystone exams. Along with periodic chapter reviews, keystone worksheets, and practice examples in class, the Algebra 1 students prepare for the test by taking CDT's, which are classroom diagnostic tests. This test tells the students what they know and what they need to work on for the upcoming test at the end of May. The CDT test show the students content the may have missed, done poorly on, or need to review to get a better understanding of the Algebra they need to be successful in the class, on the state test, and for any class they may take after Algebra 1.The CDT is just one of many classroom tools we use to help students better prepare for the test, and the world in which we live in.
