PROVINCIAL ACHIEVMENT TEST GUIDE

Congratulations on being done classes for the year. Don't celebrate yet though as you do have your Provincial Achievment Test, which is worth 10 percent of your term 4 grade.

VERY IMPORTANT PAT STUDY TIPS: 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; for example I would make my own notes on DNA, Chromsomes, etc.
• Use http://www.exambank.com/ to practice some multiple choice questions. The username is tfox and the password is trackers
• 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)
• 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! IF you want your Space Magazine Mark or your overall mark, both will be ready by Monday/Tuesday, so come on in and check out where you stand!

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!
