Test Preparation
In order to assist students in preparing for the Communication and Literacy Skills Test, we offer test preparation sessions free of charge to our students. Sessions are offered for six weeks in advance of the November and March exams. Specific dates, times, and room locations will be posted in the Education Department once the schedule has been set.
Test preparation sessions also are available for the Foundations of Reading exam and the mathematics subtest of the General Curriculum exam, the English and the history exams.
