If you did not do well on the test, practice to retake a portion.

RETAKE A TEST If a student does do not show mastery on a particular skill or wants to improve a test score, he should retake that portion of the test. Students should practice the areas they missed on the test by completing problems similar to those on the test.  Use the SL map and the scantron/test to locate the correct section of the textbook for help. Practice at least 10 problems from that section of the book or worksheets covering that skill.  A student should see me if he needs help locating the problems to practice.  When students can show they are prepared to retake a portion of the test, they can retake the section of the test during study hall.
