NICE WORK GRADE 9S!

YOU ROCKED IT.

BEST OF LUCK ON YOUR MATH EXAM TOMORROW!

Congratulations on being done classes for the year. Don't celebrate yet though as you do have your Provincial Achievment Test.

VERY IMPORTANT PAT STUDY TIPS:

• STUDY HARD!
• Be sure to practice the old PAT exam!!!
• Go through the index of each section of each unit and decide what you need to study the most then Re-read the sections of the book you are unsure about.
• Make notes on sections that are complicated for you.
• Use http://www.exambank.com/ to practice some multiple choice questions.
• Notes on each section (more notes than I gave you) are available on http://www.edquest.ca/ as well as practice quizzes and tests
• Review the Final Exam Example that was given out in class; answers are on Ms. Wilson's door; come in and check your answers Friday, Monday or Tuesday (Tutorial days)
• Some good tricks are; to READ the question CAREFULLY. Then RE-READ the question to make sure you understand what it is asking, COVER UP THE ANSWERS, see if you can answer the question BEFORE you look at the choices, DO PROCESS OF ELIMINATION, cross out the answers you KNOW are not correct, then work with the left overs.
• Do a quick review of the notes that were given out to you on each unit
• Practice an OLD PAT exam (answer key at end): http://education.alberta.ca/admin/testing/achievement/answerkeys.aspx
• STUDY HARD!
• It has been an honour to be your grade 9 Science teacher! I will miss teaching you amazing people! High School is going to be great!
• STUDY HARD!
