Re: QUERY- Middle School Final Exams

1) Our 8th grade has a final exam in each academic subject. 2 exams =20
per day for 3 consecutive days.

2) Each teacher designs his or her own exam.

3) On exam days, the students have two exams and two study halls. =20
Exams take up two regular class periods=97one mid morning, one after =20
lunch. PE (which is at the end of the day) is their only "regular" =20
class on exam days.
