should we know the terms on the reading guide and how they relate to the book or just the meaning of the words....if that makes any sense...

Ali Halsey said...

be able to identify terms, there is no need to memorize them, have a general understanding of what they mean.

ugh...just some info, i'll probably not do good on this test, but doesn't mean i won't be doing good on the rest of the tests in the future ;)
oh, and a question, if the book is really damaged, and the school (or you?) makes someone pay for it, how much would it be? =D

Ali Halsey said...

you guys will all do fine. you are all brilliant and honestly, the test is not that difficult. it will be 100 points, and you can easily bring your grade up if you did poorly. also, to comment on the price of the book, it would be $15 to replace it.

Juls said...

mmk, thanks. its not damaged badly, just curious. i really like it, for once, i actually like a book without pictures =O

Hey everyone, I was just checkin' this cool blog thing out. And I have a question: so how many paragraphs should the essay for the exam be? Can I just write like 2 or 3?

Ali Halsey said...

2-3 paragraphs is right. sorry i didn't check this sooner, by 8 i'm usually asleep.
