Make-Up for Three Weeks Test for Algebra & Geometry

Hello all!

If you did not get at least an 80 on the six weeks test that was taken on Wednesday, December 9th and Thursday, December 10th, you have a chance to make it up. Here's how:

1. I have written a test in Microsoft Word that I will e-mail to you when you are ready to take the test.

2. In order to let me know that you are ready, you must e-mail me at whatsmynumber@gmail.com.

3. Expect me to send you an e-mail with the test within 5 minutes. (If not, send another e-mail!)

4. By the time I send it to you, you will have exactly ONE HOUR to take the test.

5. When you are finished with your test, you will submit your answers into the body of an e-mail in this fashion...

7. Also, if you do not submit your answers within the ONE HOUR, I will not accept it all. So only e-mail me at first when you know you can devote up to an hour on the test.

8. If you get all 10 (or 11 for Algebra I) questions right, you will receive an 80. If you miss no more than 3 questions, you will get a 70. Otherwise, your score will be the number of questions correct times 10.

9. If you are doing this, you must complete this by Saturday, January, 2, 2010 at 10:00 PM.
