Review for First Six-Weeks Test for PAP-6 Math students:
Review
sheets will NOT be provided for most tests in math. Students should rework problems from their notes,
classwork, homework, workbooks, quizzes, and previous tests to help them review
and prepare for the six-weeks test that will be given on Tuesday Oct. 2nd.
A few
points to remember…
1) The six-weeks test is a major
grade. Basically it counts as much as 2-3
quiz grades. Test grades drastically
affect a student’s average so they need to review, study and prepare in
advance, the night before and a quick review the morning of the test.
2) Six-Weeks Tests can NOT be
reassessed. NO RETEST will be given for
a six-weeks exam. Study!!! Come prepared
to do your best. Bring a pencil and a
hand-held sharpener.
