New Zoo Revue
Today's review session was well attended and quite successful! We had some laughs and covered a LOT of problems that you WILL see on your Regents on the 20th. If all subsequent review sessions go this well, I think that we will end this year very successfully.
I posted a file that contains "properties of matter" questions so you should do those questions soon to see how much you garnered from today's session. I was impressed with the turnout and saw that you all were generally focused for almost FOUR hours! (try not to go into a daze and look out the windows, though) .That is awesome and bodes well for you (the Regents is three hours, after all).
Bonus Regents takers, I'm going to have to find time to review your tests with you; that will be dictated by the attendance. Here's what I think should work:
If I can get to the review session 20 or 30 minutes before the scheduled start, you can go over your test with me then, otherwise we will have to go over the test at the end of the review session.
If there are no questions towards the end of a given session (as happened today), I will end the review session early and just go over the bonus Regents that were taken earlier.
Generally, a test can be corrected in about 20 minutes if you didn't make too many errors. As you get better at mastering the material, a test can be reviewed in less than 5 minutes!
See you on Nitro at Great Adventure!
