remember all formulas! write your own algebra practice problems
State Math Assessments
Sort:
From what I remember about state assessments (at least in Maryland (not Michigan, I lied)), is that they're not really about math skills, but knowing how to get the math problem out of the words. My experience from the PSAT says to make sure you're not falling asleep during the exam, as it ruins your reading. Overconfidence is also a killer.
The most wordy problems are the stat/graph ones. As romil said, remember the formulae for them, and you'll be fine. Make sure to get some sleep, and good luck!
Just grab a book full of problems from grade 8 and trying solving those, the sheer practise will give you the mindset of a better problem solver.

Well i took a half of my MAP test yesterday and here are some questions I got:
Sides of a triangle measure 3(radical of 6), 2 (radical of 24), and 7(radical of 54) what is the perimeter?
31 (radical of 2)
17 ( radical of 6)
24 (radical of 21)
28 (radical of 6)
12 (radical of 84)
The ordered pairs that satisfy y=log10 and are onthe graph of a logarithm function are:
I. (-1,0), (1,0)
II. (0.1, -1), (1,0)
III. (10,1), (100,2)
Which ones are true?
What is 27 2/3 over 3 to the negative fifth power? (I can't draw it)
Ok and they also asked a ton of things about parabolas.
I am completely lost. I cannot go back and re-answer the questions, so I decided to learn how to do them meanwhile. Message me any help you have. Thansk so much!
Like i said, I'm in 7th Grade. The state assessments start tomorrow. Any suggested topics I should review and anyone willing to give a quick little review?
We covered things like basic areas of 2d and 3d figures, perimeters, surface areas, graphing/data, algebra/solving+substituting for variables, stuff like that.
There is also a MAP (Measure of Academic Perception) test that will begin in about a month or so, and they have completely random topics. The way it works is you start with a question, and if you answer it right, it goes to a harder question, if you get it wrong, it goes to an easier one. There will be things such as radical numbers, quadratic equations, slops/coordinates, and other seemingly (for me) complicated topics. Any help out there?
Thanks so much,
