QUIZZES
Quizzes can and will be given at any time. They will not be announced. However, they will usually be given in
the first few minutes of each class. (If you are late for a class and miss part or all of a quiz, you will not be
given extra time to complete the quiz.)
All the quizzes given during a quarter will be averaged and count as one unit test.
Missed quizzes (due to absence only) must be made up before the start of the school day .
TESTING
Unit tests will be given upon the completion of the unit or topic.
All unit tests will be announced at least one (1) week before the test date.
Test dates will also be posted in the weekly class schedules on the class web site and on the Bronxville
Schools’ Web Site at www.edline.net/pages/Bronxville_High_School.
Unit tests will be composed of two (2) sections:
All tests will be given in the regular class meeting time.
There are NO “make-up tests” in this course.
The only excuse for not taking a test that will be accepted is serious illness.
For individuals, who are legitimately ill and miss a test, a parent will be called to verify the absence before a
substitute test will be scheduled.

Objective Section, which will consist mainly of multiple choice questions . The majority of
this section will include topics from the current unit, but because scientific ideas are based on
the information previously presented, all tests will include information from earlier tests. This
section will account for 60% to 80% of the test’s value.
Free Response Section, which will consist of questions similar to the Application and
Critical Thinking and Case Analysis questions in your textbook. This section will account for
40% to 20% of the test’s value.
