Also, I would like you to take one A Plus Practice Examination. This exam will be similar to the one you will take at the end of the year. It has 100 questions and is timed (90 minutes). Also, the test will pull from a bank of questions (so no two students will get the exact same questions). The ratio of questions are identical to the ones you will get on the exam. One difference is that the answers will be displayed when you take this practice exam. Do not take much time reviewing the answers as you take the exam or you will run out of time. You can go back after you complete the exam and review the questions you missed and get an idea of what you missed. You will need to take this in one sitting and you CAN NOT SAVE your progress. I __do not expect__ you to "get an A" on this exam as some of the material we have not yet covered. I do, however want you to take it seriously as you will recieve a grade for completing the quiz. This is a homework grade. The top two students will make an A, the 3rd and 4th students will make a B and all other students that complete the exam will make a C for a grade on this exam. Failure to complete the exam by Monday, April 1 will result in a 0 grade to start out the 4th quarter. A Plus Practice Test = =
