Riverside, along with the Archdiocese of New York and the Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens, does not encourage or endorse programs that coach students for the TACHS. The TACHS is a highly secure exam; therefore, programs that claim to have copies of the test are likely to be invalid. In addition, the test results of students who participate in these programs frequently offer distorted profiles of students’ abilities. Students who do well in elementary school can expect to do well on the TACHS. Turn to page 27 of this handbook for more information regarding the content of the test, test-taking tips, and a practice test. Copyright © 2012 by The Riverside Publishing Company.

In order to be admitted into Catholic high schools, students must take an admissions examination in November 2012. The results from that examination, along with school records and other information, are then sent to the high school principals to assist them in making admission decisions. Each student’s information will be sent to three high schools of his/her choice. Results also will be sent to the Catholic elementary schools within the Archdiocese of New York or the Diocese of Brooklyn/ Queens. ACADEMIC SKILLS TESTED The TACHS measures academic achievement in reading, language arts, and mathematics, along with general reasoning skills. The test has been developed with the advice and approval of diocesan representatives. EXAMINATION FEE A nonrefundable examination fee of $52.00 will include registration materials, this Student Handbook, test materials, and the reporting of scores to three high schools of a student’s choice. Duplicate registrations may result in a processing fee. TEST CANDIDATES The TACHS is only for current eighth grade students. Students wishing to apply to a Catholic high school for a grade other than the ninth grade should apply directly to that high school. A student may take the TACHS examination only once. PARENT/GUARDIAN REPORTS A Home Report will be provided for each student after high school notifications have been mailed in January 2013. For Catholic school students within the Archdiocese of New York or the Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens, the Home Report will be sent to the elementary school for distribution. For public, private, and non-diocesan school students, the Home Report will be sent to the student’s home address. All TACHS test results are final. No rescoring will be done.

Remember, the testing site has no bearing on your high school choice. • These three high school choices will receive your TACHS scores. • Making choices about which high school to attend is very important, and you should consider your choices carefully. • The high schools’ websites, along with open house information, will be available through www.tachsinfo.com. • Parents/guardians should accompany students to high school open houses and read school literature before selecting three high school choices. • Also discuss your choices with your teacher, guidance counselor, or principal to determine which schools will be the best match for you. • Be realistic in your choices. • Make sure that you are eligible for the schools to which you apply. • Determine daily travel time from your home to school, and be sure that you are willing to travel the distance involved. • Admission and scholarship decisions are the responsibility of the individual high school. HIGH SCHOOL CODES • When you receive your Admit Card, print the school name and TACHS Code of your first, second, and third high school choices. • Many high schools have the same name, so be sure to include the unique TACHS High School Code, which can be found in the Open House Information beginning on page 17 of this handbook. • Make sure to accurately fill in the TACHS High School Codes. If your codes are incorrect, your scores will be sent to the wrong high schools. • Do not put a school choice down more than once. It does not increase your chances of selection by that high school. • If you do not list any schools on your answer document, your scores will not be sent to any high schools. • No changes or corrections to high school choices will be made after the test is taken. • Bring your completed Admit Card to your test site. At this time, you will have to transfer the TACHS High School Code numbers onto your answer document. 13 APPLICANT RECORDS FOR STUDENTS ATTENDING A CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW YORK OR THE DIOCESE OF BROOKLYN/QUEENS Your Applicant Record is available to your elementary school via the Internet once you have registered for the exam.

The tests, with brief descriptions, are as follows: READING The Vocabulary test presents each word in the context of a short phrase or sentence. You are to choose the answer that most nearly means the same as that word. Approximately equal numbers of nouns, verbs, and modifiers are tested. The Reading Comprehension test consists of passages that vary in length from a few paragraphs to a full page. The passages may be drawn from fiction, fables, tales, poetry, interviews, diaries, biographical sketches, science and social studies materials, and other nonfiction. Many of the passages are excerpts from previously published works. Approximately two-thirds of the questions require you to construct either inferential or evaluative meaning. LANGUAGE Each Spelling test question presents four words, one of which may be misspelled, and a fifth option, “No mistakes,” for use when all four words are spelled correctly. This format permits the testing of four spelling words for each test question. Errors in the tested words are based on common substitutions, reversals, omissions, or unnecessary additions. The questions in the Capitalization test require you to identify errors—undercapitalization or overcapitalization—presented in brief written contexts. If you find an error, mark the line of text containing an error. If there is no error, choose the line that says “No mistakes.” Capitalization of names and titles, dates and holidays, places, organizations and groups, and other words may be tested. In the Punctuation test, look for errors in both underpunctuation and overpunctuation. You should identify the line of writing in which an error occurs, or you may mark the fourth response— “No mistakes”—if no error is present. Questions may relate to the use of terminal punctuation, commas, apostrophes, quotation marks, colons, and semicolons. In the Usage test, questions contain one or two sentences that are arranged in three lines. You must identify the line containing a usage error or select “No mistakes” if you believe no error is present. Errors in the use of verbs, personal pronouns, modifiers, or in word choice are included. In the Expression test, you should choose the best or most appropriate way of expressing an idea in a sentence or paragraph. Choices involve issues of conciseness, clarity, appropriateness of expression, and the organization of sentence and paragraph elements. MATH The Math test covers the broad skills of concepts, estimation, problem solving, and data interpretation. It tests your math knowledge and ability to solve math problems using information from stories, graphs, and tables. You are asked to estimate answers to math problems as well as to compute answers. ABILITY This test assesses general abstract reasoning ability. The items present novel tasks to you and offer an excellent appraisal of your ability to generalize a principle and apply it to a new situation. 27 Thus, the items appraise how well you use your general reasoning skills to solve problems you have not been directly taught. TIPS ON TAKING THE TEST PREPARING FOR THE TEST • Skills such as pacing and strategic answering can help you become a better test taker. Pacing Pacing yourself appropriately on timed tests can improve your chances of success. Every student’s goal is to give correct answers to as many questions as possible within the allotted time, but since there is rarely time for long deliberations, you may need to identify— and temporarily set aside—questions that threaten to use up too much of your time. Answering Strategically For each question on the test, you should think about the answer choices and decide which one would make the most sense. There may be some questions that you will not know how to answer. Take a little time and try to answer these questions. Begin by evaluating the answer choices provided. In many cases, you can reject one or more answer choices as unlikely. Any remaining choices will, therefore, be the more probable answers. You should look at these answer choices to find the one you think makes the most sense. If none of the answers seems right, it is best to take an educated guess. • Sample Test Questions: Be sure to answer the practice questions in this handbook in order to understand the types of questions that will appear on the test. BEFORE THE TEST • Make sure you get a full night’s sleep the night before the test. • Be sure to eat breakfast. • Know how far away your test site is and allow plenty of time to get there. • Bring your Admit Card and identification with you to the test site. • Bring several No. 2 pencils with erasers. Make sure the pencils are sharp and the erasers are clean. • Don’t bring any notes, books, or scratch paper with you. • Don’t bring a calculator, watch, or any electronic devices with you. You won’t be allowed to take any of these into the examination room. DURING THE TEST • During the reading of the directions, make sure to listen carefully. • Make sure you understand the directions in the test booklet before starting the test. • Try not to spend too much time on any one question. If you complete a subtest before the time is up, go back to any question that you did not answer. • Answer all questions that you can by looking for the answer choice that makes the most sense. • Mark only one answer for each question. If you need to erase an answer, make sure it is completely erased before marking the new answer. • If you have extra time, go back and check your answers. Make sure you have marked all answers, that only one answer is filled in for each question, and that you have erased all stray pencil marks. 28 Sample Test Questions 29 Reading Part 1 Directions This is a test about words and their meanings. • For each question, you are to decide which one of the four answers has most nearly the same meaning as the underlined word(s) above it. • Choose the answer that you think is better than the others. 1 To A B C D 2 Violent waves J high K white L purple M forceful 3 prey on mice pick up feed on look after run after 30 4 Resembles her grandmother A loves B comforts C looks like D talks with A panicky feeling J fearful K thrilling L lonesome M sickening Reading Part 2 Directions • Read the passage below and then answer the questions. • Four answers are given for each question. You are to choose the answer that you think is better than the others. Chester Greenwood was just a teenager when he made his mark on the world by inventing Greenwood’s Champion Ear Protectors. We know his invention better by its less formal name—earmuffs. Chester grew up in Maine, a state known for its bitter winters. As a youngster, he suffered more than once from frostbitten ears. Wool scarves made his injured ears itch, so he decided to make a covering of fur. He cut out furry patches that would cover the ear and asked his grandmother to sew them over wire frames. After experimenting with several designs, Chester found a way to attach these furry pads to a springy metal band, which fit snugly over the top of the head. Thus the earmuff was born. In 1877, when Chester was nineteen, he patented his invention. Soon the demand for Greenwood’s Champion Ear Protectors had become so great that a factory was opened, and Chester’s hometown of Farmington became famous as the earmuff capital of the world. 5Why did Chester first try to make earmuffs? A B C D 6 To To To To Who helped Chester with his invention? A B C D He needed money. His ears were cold. His mother asked him for help. His father sold earmuffs in his store. What was the purpose of the springy metal band? J K L M 7 8 Which of these sayings is best illustrated by this passage?

Then each half is turned over so that the outer edges of the original figure touch each other.) 9 C(Since the paper is folded in half, the hole is punched through two layers. That means there will be two holes when the paper is unfolded. Since the paper is folded downward, the second hole will be directly below the first hole. The hole is punched near the center, so both holes must be near the center.) 10 N(Two holes are punched through two layers, so there are four holes. The paper is folded straight across, so the second pair of holes will be directly across from the first pair. The holes are punched near the center, so all four holes will be near the center.) 11 D(Since two holes are punched through two layers, there will be four holes. Since one punch is near the center and the other is near a corner, two holes will be near the center and two will be near corners. The paper is folded straight up, so one pair of holes will be above the other pair.) 12L(Since the paper is folded in half twice, the hole is punched through four layers. That means there are four holes. The hole is punched near a corner, so each of the four holes will be near a corner.) 42 1529963
