- All students are allowed the chance to correct tests for the opportunity to earn extra points and improve their grade.
- You may earn 1/2 of the points lost on your test by correcting all questions missed. (There is a chart provided at the bottom of this page for reference.)
- You must follow all directions or you will not receive credit.
- If the original test grade was failing (below a 70), then the test corrections must be signed by a parent.
- Students will have exactly one week from the date the tests are handed back to turn in the corrections. No late corrections will be accepted.
Test Correction Instructions:
- Use a separate sheet of notebook paper.
- Title it Test Corrections and be sure to remember your name and science period (you do not need the date or assignment #). Put your original test grade at the top center of the page.
- Draw a small box for each question. Write the number of the question in the box, followed by the correct letter answer which is underlined.
- Copy the entire question and answer to the right of each box.
- You must show the use of test-taking strategy on your corrections by underlining, highlighting, or circling important information to help ensure your answer is correct.
- Please see the example below.
