It's tomorrow....

Tomorrow is the big day!

We have come so far and worked so hard since our first days of the Summer Academy back in August. I am so proud of each and every one of you for how hard you have worked and all that you've learned. I have demanded a lot from you, both inside the class and out; sometimes I was a jerk to you, but know that I was always trying to push you to do your best.

Tomorrow is a huge measure of our progress throughout the year. All I ask is that you put forth maximum effort to prepare yourself for tomorrow's exam, and then, tomorrow, you give 110% effort on this test. All we can do is our best! Don't overly stress, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't worry about your score--just prepare yourself to succeed and do the best you can tomorrow!

Exam Info:

• Eat lunch during period E!
• You can either come to our classroom and we can head to the cafe, grab some food, and come hang out in 101 until the test..
• Or you can eat lunch in the cafe and enjoy some time with your friends...
• You must report to the exam room @ 11:30--be aware that this is before the end of the lunch period, so keep an eye on the clock!
• Bring a graphing calculator tomorrow! Borrow a friend's if you have to!
• Do not rely on using one of mine; I only have about 12, which isn't very many, so be sure to bring one!
• Get a good night's sleep tonight!
• The worst thing you can do is stay up until 2 a.m. studying; be well rested for tomorrow afternoon so you're not groggy during test time!
• Eat breakfast and eat lunch before the test!
• Food for thought! :)
• You will be testing until 3:30 - 4:00! Schedule work/rides accordingly.
• No blank questions tomorrow!
• Even if you're stuck on a free response, try something! No blank questions!
• Of course don't leave any multiple choice blank!
• Read all of the free response before you start the test! Do the questions you're most confident about first!
• Be sure to leave yourself at least 20 minutes for the investigative task! (#6)
• Same for the multiple choice--don't get stuck spending too long on one question! If you're stumped, skip it, and then come back to that question at the end! But don't leave anything blank!
• Keep an eye on the clock! Pay attention to your time!
• USE ALL OF YOUR TIME! No putting your head down and quitting if you finish early! Use any extra time to look over the tough questions--and don't just look over them, re-work them out! Make sure your calculations are correct!
