Use two external practice tests and end-of-lesson practice sections to build test-taking skills and confidence.

• California-specific content, including references to California people, places, and history, facilitates learning by teaching in terms of what your students already know.
• Buckle Down materials are in full compliance with California Guidelines on Academic Preparation for State Assessments.
