Exams

Midterm Exam

The Midterm Exam is over Lessons 1-5 and consists of 25 multiple choice and numerical answer questions worth 2 points each. You will also turn in an assignment. 

Final Exam

The Final Exam is over Lessons 6 - 10 and consists of 25 multiple choice and numerical answer questions worth 2 points each. You will also turn in an assignment.

 EXAM GUIDELINES

 The exams are not proctored, however, you are expected to follow these guidelines:

  • Do not use online material, course material, or other notes to take the exam.
  • Do not navigate away from the exam page during the exam.
  • Complete the exam in one sitting.

One of the ways that Grade 8 is different from Grade 7 is that exams will be proctored, which means an adult will monitor you while you take your exams. If you would like to prepare for this more formal requirement now, you can work with your family or a teacher/tutor to arrange proctored-like exam conditions.  For example, you could take the exam with a tutor, or in a library setting, or under formal conditions at home. If you can get some experience with these conditions in Grade 7, you may find it an easier transition to Grade 8 and beyond.

Grades

Your final grade will be based on the number of points you earn on assignments and exams.

The following grading scale applies only to students who meet this standard:

Grading Scale
Grade Percentage
A 90–100
B 80–89
C 70–79
D 60–69
F 0–59
