Teachers, Parents (and students) you ARE going to want your students to do the practice tests!!! No question about it. The practice tests are NOT about content. It is about using the tools of the test.
Go to http://sageportal.org/ and click on "Training & Practice Sites". Then "Training and Practice Tests". Then the Bicycle "Training Tests". (or CLICK HERE!)
You do NOT need a log-in to practice OR a test code! Leave the "Guest User" and "Guest Session" boxes checked.) Just click Sign in!

- Pick your grade level and your settings. (The volume settings will NOT work in this practice session.)
- Pick a test! (Each one has different features. So, you WILL want to do them all eventually.)
-
These tests are ONLY for learning the TOOLS. Nothing is graded, or even scored - your answers do not matter!
READ the instructions! But here are some tips.
- Set the volume (and other settings) to YOUR liking - you can listen to the test as needed. BUT you have to set the volume FIRST. You will use headphones during the actual test. I suggest BRINGING YOUR OWN! (The text to speech does not work unless the teacher has assigned a test).
- READ the instructions for each question! You can't just guess your way through this test anymore ;)
- Use the ' i '' for information/help/instructions and the Flag to flag a question to come back to. But you MUST answer it before moving on.
- Play with the Zoom, Notes and Calculator tools.
- You MUST answer each question before you can go to the next one. Even if you flag it.
- After 20 minutes of computer inactivity your test will pause, and you will not be able to change any of your previous answers when you log back in.
- Do EACH practice test. There are different things to do in each of the Math, Science and English.
- Eventually you get an "END TEST" button. Click on it.
- Have fun - and remember the practice test is NOT about CONTENT!
