How the Retake Exams Are Scored
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the Due Date or DEADLINE for Retaking Exams or Tests?
The only deadline for students wanting to take any retake-exams in semester 1 is BEFORE Month 5, and BEFORE Month 10 for Semester 2. I will not be allowing ANY retakes during Months 5 and 10, unless you are failing the class and already had conversations with me and our counselor and we're all clear about what you will exams/assignments you will need to make up to pass the course leading UP to Month 5 for semester 1, and leading up to Month 10 for semester 2.

YOU CANNOT RETAKE A TEST WITHOUT THESE 3 THINGS
1. TEST Corrections, done the right way. Please click here to see how you must do test corrections.
2. Error statements (on the same pages as the corrections).
3. The original test itself, stapled underneath the corrections and error statements.

- EMAIL MR. HUY FOR RESERVATION. Email me to discuss a time/date you could make to take the retake exam. You have an an hour and 15 minutes to complete the exam and email it back to me. So we will discuss a time/date that works for you to meet this timed requirement.

How the Retake Exams Are Scored
- THE SCORES OF BOTH TESTS ARE AVERAGED: That means a first-test score of 71 and a retake-test score of 96 averages to 83.5%, which I will round up to 84%.
- POLICY 1: if a student does really poorly the first time, such as 38%, it would normally be almost impossible to get an average about D, so I will temporarily raise the first test score to 60% only for the purpose ofaveraging. EXAMPLE: a student who earns 38% for a first-test then learns it much better and earns 94% on the retake-test will then have a final score of 77%, C (that's the average of 60 and 94).
- POLICY 2: any student may retake a test regardless of the score, but I will cap any final averaged score at 90%, A-. EXAMPLE: a student who earns 86% on the first-test then earns 100% on the retake-test will have a final score of 90%, A-, not the actual average of 93.
- POLICY 3: The retake test is meant to help students' scores, NEVER to hurt their score. Thus, if they do worse on the retake test, they score does NOT go down. They get to keep the original score since it is higher than the retake test's score. Example: a student scores 62%, D on the first test, but only 54%, F on the retake test. The average would be 58%, F, but since I won't use a retake score if it's lower then the first test, the original 62% score will stay in the grade book and is the final score. NOTE: there is only one retake test, so if a student scores lower on the retake test, the student has used up the one opportunity to raise the score.
