Like I said at Back to School Night, the ITBS test is only to find a baseline for our students and to guide instruction.  We have been preparing for this test in class throughout the past couple weeks.  The CA Core Standards can guide you in preparing for each section of the test.  http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/
