Games that will prepare you for standardized testing

The second semester of each school year often brings together students nationwide in a common foreboding: the knowledge that standardized tests will soon be upon them. For elementary and middle school students, this usually means some type of basic reading and math assessment, and possibly science and social studies assessments, as well. For high school students, this can include a high school graduation exam or for those hoping to further their education, the SAT test.
Just in time for the testing season, Vocabulary.co.il has rolled out two more great vocabulary games at the website. Match It is a test-prep styled game that has you match vocabulary words with the sentence that best fits with the word. This is the type of vocabulary challenge that almost every student confronts on standardized tests. In most state and nationally normed tests, students are asked to match a list of vocabulary words with possible corresponding sentences. Match It mirrors that format, and allows students to choose word lists based on difficulty level, and whether they want alphabetical or random choices.
