  and see if you have gotten better.
• In the top right hand corner, write your NCE
  score for 5th grade, and then subtract your NCE
  score for 4th grade.
• You should have a POSITIVE number!

Current practice

• Look at your list of tests. Find the TCAP
  practice test. Write it on the Student pattern
  report.

  score.

  do on the actual test.
• Are you on the right track?
