Excerpt:
Introduction
PASSING THE CALIFORNIA STAR CSTs
IN GEOMETRY & ALGEBRA I
This book provides excellent
preparation for eighth and ninth
graders taking the STAR California
Standards Tests, or CSTs, in
Geometry and Algebra I.
We present a practice test,
modeled on the typical CST format,
and extensive drills that expose
the student to the full range of
material - in both Geometry and
Algebra I - associated with course-
specific and integrated CSTs. The
practice test itself has the feel
of an integrated CST. Course-
specific tests are given as end-of-
course assessments in school
districts that teach math in the
traditional sequence. The
Integrated Mathematics CSTs are
given in districts where content
from more than one discipline is
taught each year - in an
integrated way that is not
necessarily grade-specific.
