Wednesday December 16

Here is the link to your exam.  EXAM

When you finish, call me over to record your score.

You may only take the exam once and you MAY NOT use the internet to find the answers. If you do that, you will earn a 0 for the exam. (and that will be lame).

As soon as you finish and I record your score, please begin the essay. 

Good luck!
