The Show
Thanks to all who came to our final night review session, good times and Mario's for all.
I think that we accomplished a lot for the night before the exam. I WILL be in the Commons (outside the gym) tomorrow at 10AM until test-time (as they say in baseball, "the show").
Let's go all out tomorrow so you can leave the exam room knowing that you could not possibly have done any better (a 100 will more than suffice) and you should see some terrific results. Before you hand in your test, try very hard to find any and all visual or other types of errors that people/geniuses make on just about every test; assume that you made two or three of these errors and find them. REMEMBER the traditional 2.5 hour MINIMUM standard test-time for my Honors classes (try to go the distance though- what is 30 minutes out of a WHOLE SUMMER?). I will be in the hallway at the two-hour mark as the cattle stampede of students who failed (by rushing out) fill the hallways and playfully prepare for summer school. Do not hesitate to alert your proctors regarding calculator batteries, etc. : there is NOTHING WRONG with such a request and I know that your proctors will help you to take the test fairly and equitably.
A GOOD OMEN: the server is back on-line so our class website is active again. The CHEATSHEET (which you may NOT bring INTO the exam) is in the "white" area at the top of the files is/has been posted along with the NY Chem Regents Curriculum standards. Enjoy.
See you tomorrow! Get a good night's sleep.
