Today we went over the correct procedures for doing test corrections and then we took notes on "How do the Sun, Earth and moon differ"

Posted below are the correct procedures for doing test corrections.  Please read carefully some of the steps have changed.

How do I do Test Corrections?

For science unit tests (and occasionally other major tests), students will have the opportunity to make test corrections to regain a maximum of HALF of the points missed on the test.  Here is the required format in order to get credit:

1.  Test corrections should be hand written by the student on clean notebook paper (no ragged edges, must be 8-1/2 x 11 paper) and should be written neatly.  If I can't read it, there is no credit awarded.

2.  Write the number of the problem from the test.  (If the first problem you missed was #5, then your test correction page begins with #5.)

3.  Re-write the question.

4.  Answer the question correctly.

5.  Explain WHY the correct answer is correct.  Use complete sentences.
