2024 Keystones: How to prepare for success

By Gabi Isenberg Keystones are rapidly approaching at IHS. By reviewing notes, worksheets, Quizlets, and materials from throughout the year, students can ensure they’ll be successful in their subject’s test. 2024 Keystones begin the week of May 13, so preparation should begin soon. The stress of the looming Keystones can be a lot for underclassmen who haven’t experienced them before. Typically, the Algebra Keystone is taken in the 9th grade, while the Literature and Biology Keystones are typically administered in the 10th grade. However, because of some advanced placement programs, some students complete them earlier. Sophomore Paige Fisanich shared, “I took my Algebra Keystone in 8th grade and my Biology one in 9th. I will take my final one this year. To prepare, I did study guides teachers provided to me and reviewed them.”  Teachers who instruct tested subjects often provide resources for students to prepare for the tests. Algebra

Late passes and late assignments are truly at an all-time high.
