Preparing for High-Stakes Assessments
While Connecticut's CTSS standardized testing focuses on grades 3–8, 10th graders in Connecticut often take the SAT School Day as part of their academic preparation. Strong ELA skills built in 10th grade — especially reading comprehension and evidence-based writing — are directly tested on the SAT and carry through to 11th and 12th grade coursework.
