Exams must be taken as scheduled. Missing prep classes does not change this. Typically exams should take less than 60 minutes, so practice problems ahead of time so that you are sufficiently prepared to finish within the allotted time.
Be on time: Arrive before the exam starts. Late arrivals may not get extra time.
Eyes on your own material: Do not let your eyes wander around the room.
Remain quiet: during the entire exam process, even if you personally have completed your own exam.
Bring materials: Only bring approved supplies (calculator, pencil, eraser, scratch paper). No phones or smart devices.
No sharing: Do not share work, answers, or materials with other students.
Stay seated: If you need to talk with the teacher your may get up and go to the teacher. Otherwise do not leave your seat.
No talking:
Follow instructions: Read directions carefully before starting each section.
Use time wisely: Manage your time so you can attempt all questions.
Integrity matters: Cheating or plagiarism will result in a zero and further consequences.
Violation of any of the exam rules can invalidate the entire exam. A score of zero will be awarded for the exam and depending on the circumstances the retake privilege might be revoked.
Students may retake exams to improve their scores, but must meet all requirements. Semester finals and quizzes are excluded. This is a privilege and can be revoked at the teacher's discretion for reasons such as cheating or wasting the privilege. It is the student’s responsibility to fulfill all conditions.
Fill out the Exam Retake Request Form - Before you can retake an exam, the exam must be made by Mr. Burton. To initiate the retake process, you are required to complete the Exam Retake Request Form. {Click the link above to access the form.}
Retake Request: Submit the Exam Retake Request Form at least by 3:00 p.m. the school day before your retake the exam. Once submitted, you have 7 calendar days to complete the retake exam. After 7 days, a new request form is required.
Exam Frequency: You are allowed to take a maximum of one exam per school day, whether it's a retake or an original exam.
Class Schedule Consideration: Please note that your retake exam must not be taken during your math class.
1 Sitting: The exam must be completed in one sitting. Once you leave the exam area, it is over—plan accordingly.
More Questions: Expect retake exams to contain more questions than the original exam.
Teacher Availability: Retake exams must be scheduled when Mr. Burton is available to administer them.
Minimum Practice Requirement: Come prepared for your retake. You are expected to spend adequate time practicing the required skills before testing. If you realize you are not prepared, it is better to cancel or postpone your retake than to waste the opportunity. Testing before you are ready is unlikely to improve your score. Retaking exams without adequate preparation may result in the loss of future retake privileges.
