=2008 Algebra 1 June Opportunity Day (aka Final Exam) Details=

10:15-12:00 Wednesday, June 11th 2008
As with any test, the most important thing is that you demonstrate as much good mathematics as possible. Use your time wisely- 105 minutes is a long time, but you will probably want to use it all. Some of you will finish early. If you do, take a break and then start checking answers and re-doing those that are incorrect.

Coverage:
Our nine units covered chapters 2-10 in your text book. It will consist of 50+ questions assessing this material. There will be one page to do without a calculator (including some fractions!) and the rest can be done with your calculator.

To review:

 * Skim through the relative portions of the text to remind yourself of the text's take on the topics.
 * Do the Opportunity Day revision homework assignments. Do additional problems from the worked examples at [|hotmath.com].
 * Take a look at your Supercorrections from your old unit tests- do you feel more confident now?
 * Rework those tests if possible.
 * As you review, ask yourself what problems you should expect to see on the Opportunity Day.
 * Take notes on your cheat sheet.

On the day of the Opportunity Day:

 * Make sure you're well rested- don't stay up late the night before and then try to compensate with an energy drink. Energy drinks do not focus your mind- studies show they make it more difficult to think and concentrate.
 * Get to the Opportunity Day early if possible.
 * Don't forget your cheat sheet!
 * Bring a ruler, pencil, eraser, graph paper, and calculator.

During the Opportunity Day:

 * Don't panic.
 * Remember that the only way to get a zero on the exam is to skip it, do nothing, or cheat.
 * Check, double check, triple check your answers.
