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.
