Emergency Substitute Lesson Plans
Lesson:
Please administer and score sections of the SAT practice test. I have included one copy of the test, and one copy of the
answer sheet. The remainder of the copies (a class set) are located in a box marked “PRACTICE TESTS” on the top shelf
in my classroom (464). When administering the test, please instruct the students to only mark answers on the answer
sheet, as you will need to re-use the copies of the practice test throughout the day.
Materials:

Class set of practice tests (Two sets- Section One and Section Two)

Students should work independently and shall not be permitted to talk or ask questions. On the real SAT, scores will be
cancelled if students talk. Please leave me a note if they disrupt the testing environment.
