The primary purpose of the California Content Standards Mastery and California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) Preparation Programs are to significantly improve student achievement in public elementary through high schools and to ensure that students who graduate from public high schools can demonstrate grade level competency in reading, writing, and mathematics. CAHSEE testing helps identify students who are not developing skills that are essential for life after high school and encourages districts to give these students the attention and resources needed to help them achieve these test skills during their high school years.
The Study Island programs are specifically designed to help students master the content specified on the CST and CAHSEE exams. The user-friendly interface allows students to move through the program step-by-step. Each section has a pre-test and a post-test, as well as topics that cover each of the CAHSEE Blueprints and California Content Standards. Topics consist of questions, answers, explanations, and lessons that address the specific skills to pass the CST and CAHSEE.
Study Island's focus on the CAHSEE Blueprints and California Content Standards enables students to improve their performance in all skill areas tested on the CST and CAHSEE exams.
