Unit Pre-Test Why? Do NOT write on my test. A pre-test provides your teachers with information that is used to help plan instruction. If you show mastery of a concept, there is no reason to focus instruction on the concept. However, if you show that you have not mastered a concept, it is important to provide opportunities to improve that particular skill. Do NOT write on my test. You will write your answers on your own paper.
