Lear Quiz by the Numbers
As a student still needs to take this quiz, I couldn't hand them back, but here is a breakdown for you (the score is on focus).
Most students made it into the 20-22 range.
If you were far below that, you'll want to study your first M/C tests more carefully and review the answers.
We had a perfect score and a near perfect score with Jinsol and Nikki; congratulations!
Also, your senior class is 3% ahead of last year's M.C. test takers.
Enjoy,
Mr. S
