Exam Day Logistics
Morning Exams:
Report Time: 7:30-7:45am
Please enter through Tiger Drive doors.
Students must pre-arrange their own transportation to school for the morning exams. You will not be able to take the bus as the exams begin before the start of the school day.
Report directly to your assigned testing room. If you are unsure of your testing room, please log into your Total Registration account.
Lunch: Students will eat lunch at the conclusion of testing, before heading to class for the afternoon.
Extended time students and students taking two tests in a day should bring their lunch from home.
Students are expected to attend their afternoon classes.
Afternoon Exams:
Report Time: See schedule tab. Report times vary and may be adjusted if the morning exam runs late.
Report directly to your assigned testing room. If you are unsure of your testing room, please log into your Total Registration account.
Students must pre-arrange their own transportation home for all afternoon exams.
End times for afternoon tests are unpredictable and may vary from those listed. Extended time exams will end later.
Make sure to tell your coach, advisor, or employer that you will miss practice/games/meetings/work, if applicable. NNHS will not reschedule exams for regular season athletic events. If a conference/county/state tournament is scheduled on your exam day, please reach out to Ms. Mazzola (mazzolaa@newton.k12.ma.us) ASAP to discuss options.
Students with an afternoon exam are excused from their morning classes.
Two exams in a day:
You will need to bring a bag lunch. You will have an opportunity to eat (quickly, ~ 15 minutes) in a designated area between exams. You might also consider bringing a "snack lunch" that you can space out and eat during the exam breaks and the break between tests.
All Exams:
Please be ready to go when you arrive! Pencils sharpened, stopped at the restroom, etc. Check the list of what to bring/not bring below. We will begin promptly!
Students cannot be dismissed early. All test takers must remain until all tests are collected and counted.
Students should bring with them only what is necessary for exams. In most testing rooms, we have very little extra space for student belongings.
Students individual exam schedule and reporting location will be emailed to their personal email address a few days prior to the start of the exams. Students can also log into their Total Registration account at any time to see their anticipated schedule.
Newton North attendance will be entered by the main office staff. We are trying to input planned exam attendance ahead of time so that teachers know who absent due to testing. If you are taking exams outside of Newton North you are responsible for reporting your attendance to your house office.
What to Bring:
Several sharpened No. 2 Pencils with erasers (not mechanical pencils)
Pens (dark blue or black ink only)
Calculator & Back Up Batteries (Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Statistics, Physics) - be sure yours meets the requirements. No calculators or back up batteries will be provided.
A ruler - for Physics tests that allow a ruler. No protractors allowed.

Water/small snack (snack can only be eaten during the scheduled break).
Bagged lunch - if you have two exams in the same day, or if you have a morning extended time test. You might consider bringing a "snack lunch" that you can eat throughout the day if you are taking multiple tests.
What NOT to Bring:
