SPRING 2022 FINAL EXAMS
Grades 9-11

---

GOALS

• Students learn from experience of preparing and taking “full” final exams (90 minutes, cumulative summative assessment) in core academic disciplines.
• Intentional study support for students who have not had much experience with finals before, which at this time is all of them.
• Reduced grade impact compared to “normal,” with that lack of prior experience in mind.
• Guide students’ time management those days and keep building management effective for an exam atmosphere.
