Resources for Review
Canton High School will be offering the MCAS Retake in Biology and Physics this February for students in Grades 10-12 who have already taken a Biology or Physics course and need to pass the Science MCAS.
We will be offering the June tests for students currently enrolled in a Biology or Physics class or in another science for those who have not taken a Biology course previously.
We hope to offer tutoring for students needing review before taking the February Exam. Please contact Science Department Coordinator, Erica Fitzgerald with any questions.
Please use the list of links and files below to review and study before taking the exam.
