EXAMENS

• Because it is imperative to understand one concept in a foreign language before moving on to another, it will be possible to re-take most tests for a maximum score of 85%. You will have to arrange do this on your own time: before or after school or during seminar. It may be necessary to show evidence of studying before being allowed to take the test.
