Bonus Regents Exams
More kudos and plaudits to those of you who have taken bonus Regents exams over the past four weeks. I am surprised that only about six students frequently took advantage of these opportunities. Those six students now regularly and easily score in the mid to high 90's on each exam (we did get a 100 today also!) and, as a result, their quarterly averages have significantly increased. This increase will be compounded when these students naturally do very well on this year's Regents exam (that's what has always happened in the past, anyway).
For those who have not taken advantage of these bonus tests, there is still Wednesday's exam for you to display your level of preparation and knowledge of Regents Chem. Thoroughly marking up your test and Reference Tables, providing examples and illustrations, and writing clearly and carefully (use LOTS of scrap paper, 20 pages if you must, to outline your thoughts BEFORE you write in the test booklet!) are all factors that will demonstrate your degree of preparation for this test. My past students boldly displayed these skills and their results were beyond stellar. Let us continue this tradition of excellence.
Cheers!
