[ About CAHSEE ]
CAHSEE is California High School Exit Exam. You can call this class as "Basic Math" or "Foundation Math" or "Pre-Algebra" or "CAHSEE-Math Prep". The math part of the CAHSEE addresses state standards in grades 6 and 7 and Algebra I. The exam includes number sense, mathematical reasoning, statistics, data analysis and probability, measurement and geometry, and algebra. Students are also asked to demonstrate a strong foundation in computation and arithmetic, including working with decimals, fractions, and percents.
In July 2003, the SBE (State Board of Education) took action to move the passage of the CAHSEE as a diploma requirement to the Class of 2006. The Class of 2006 took the CAHSEE for the first time as 10th graders in February 2004. In addition to the use of the CAHSEE as a graduation requirement, the Spring CAHSEE administration will continue to be used in calculating the API (Academic Performance Index) for state accountability purposes and AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) to meet federal NCLB (No Child Left Behind) requirements.
All students in California are required to take the CAHSEE for the first time in grade 10. Students who do not pass one or both parts of the CAHSEE in grade 10 may take the parts not passed up to two times per school year in grade 11 and up to five times per school year in grade 12.
CAHSEE Math has 92 questions given in 2 parts. There are 80 scored questions plus 12 field tested questions that are not scored. In order to pass CAHSEE Math, you will need a scaled score of 350 which is approximately 44 items correct out of 80. (You should aim for a scaled score of over 380 which means you achieved proficiency. Proficiency means that you got approximately 59 or more questions correct.)

[ Lesson #1 ]
My first lesson for you is about "Integer" and "Operations". You need to understand the "Number Line" and 4 Operations (add, subtract, multiply and divide). It is very hard to teach this topic in writing so I will add video lessons so that you can learn from online lecture.
