Year 9 test preparation material
Students need to develop a range of important skills and strategies before sitting the tests. Resources to help students develop these skills can be found in the Teaching ideas section. Teachers could use the preparation materials from previous Year 7 tests to familiarise students with the types of questions and response formats on the tests.
