Math Tests

all students had their math tests returned to them today.  They have until Thursday to correct any errors and resubmit the test to me.  The test will be regraded and the average of the two marks will be kept. For example, if your original score was 80% and you corrected all your errors and resubmitted your test, your new score would be 100%.  The average of these two marks is 90%, this is the final mark in the grade book.   Don't miss this opportunity to improve your grade!
