WordMaster Test!


Just a reminder that the WordMaster test for 7th and 8th grade students will be held on Tuesday, February 23rd in the Media Center.

There are many effective methods for studying for this test. Need some ideas? Try one of the methods below one day and another the next. Remember that frequent review, rather than one long study session, will help store the words in your long-term memory.

1. Use your word cards and have someone quiz you on the definitions.

2. Group the words. Which words go together? Do they have similar meanings? Opposite meanings? How can they connect?

3. Review the analogy patterns that WordMasters uses. Can you make analogies using the 50 words?

4. Tired of review? Visit the Wordles website to create word art with the word and words connected to the definition. This may help you to remember words.

5. Use the VisuWord website to reinforce definitions and see how words are connected.
