| AEIS BASIC KNOWLEDGE SKILLS |
| 1. Always look at the topic. Notice below. If the decision set begins with Elementary, all your answers will be in the Elementary level. In the Decision Set below, notice Oak Elementary. Never select any answer that contains/uses the word "Secondary" as one of the answers. NEVER EVER!!!!!!!! Rule #1 |
| 2. The famous word, "HIGHEST PRIORITY". If it says highest priority that means the most needed. Notice below if it says high priority it means CURRENT YEAR most needed. NEVER PREVIOUS YEAR. NEVER EVER!!!! RULE #2 |
| 3. Always compare your campus to STATE. ALWAYS!!! Notice below campus group. Need never worry about this. Very rarely will you use this in the test. So don't spend time analyzing Campus Group data. |
| 4. Always compare your data to the state. 100% of your test will focus on comparing this data. Always compare. Always!!!!! |

-campus 83.1-In this case, campus did better than state. NOT A HIGH PRIORITY.
NOTICE YEAR 1995. NO PROBLEM.
NEXT Subject Math-73.3 State- Campus 70.3- Definite PROBLEM and high priority.
Notice in drop from previous year. Significant!!!! High priority due to big drop.
Finally, All tests. Current year 67.4 campus-64.8 Problem. TIP!!!!!! Notice previous
year State 58.6 campus 65.4 then a sudden drop to 64.8. That drop is considerable.
That would be a big concern. Please look out for this. Make sure that you notice trends.
TRENDS, TRENDS,TRENDS, THAT IS THE KEY!!!! IF you get this all the rest will be
easy. So in effect, high priority Math,
