Chapter Tests
Tests will be given at the end of each chapter. A study guide will be assigned at least one week prior to the test date. Study guides are created to be used as a study tool to help prepare for the tests. Study Guides answers are always reviewed in class at least one day prior to the test.
Map Tests
Map tests will be given monthly. Each trimester will follow a predictable pattern. The first map test will only cover side A, then side B will be covered, and finally both sides A and B will be tested. One test will be given each month.
