The primary purpose of the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) is to significantly improve pupil achievement in public high schools and to ensure that pupils who graduate from public high schools can demonstrate grade level competency in reading, writing, and mathematics. Since 1999 hundreds of thousands of students have taken and passed the CAHSEE. We realize that many students and their families find the prospect of taking this test stressful. Therefore, we are pleased to be able to provide students and their parents with this English-Language Arts Study Guide, which is designed to help students pass the CAHSEE.  \nThe CAHSEE will be administered over two days. On the first day, students will take the English-language arts portion of the test; on the second day, they will take the mathematics portion. All of the questions on the CAHSEE are based on California’s academic content standards in English-language arts and mathematics. These standards outline what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of each school year from kindergarten through high school.  \nThe focus of this study guide is the English-language arts part of the exam. It includes questions previously used on the CAHSEE and explains how to determine the correct answers. The guide also gives studying and test-taking tips and answers frequently asked questions. A similar study guide for mathematics is also available.  \nPassing the CAHSEE is an achievement for students, and we hope you find this guide helpful. If you have questions or would like more information about the CAHSEE, please contact your high school’s principal or your school district’s testing office.

El propósito del examen es el de asegurar que los alumnos que se gradúen de la preparatoria o high school puedan leer y escribir en inglés y puedan usar las matemáticas.  \nDesde 1999 cientos de miles de estudiantes han tomado y han aprobado el CAHS","cbCaiv5ssEWl4uPm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv5ssEWl4uPm","pdf",1264009,18,"English","# A Message to Students and Parents\n# Exam Overview and Purpose\n# Focus of the English-Language Arts Guide\n# Tips and Resources for Students","[{\"question\":\"What is the CAHSEE and why is it required in California?\",\"answer\":\"California enacted a law requiring public school students to pass the CAHSEE to receive a high school diploma.
