APUS- Midterm redo

APUS- There will be an exam redo Thursday January 7th. Highest grade counts and no extra time will be given. You will not be allowed to review your previous exam before the redo, but you will see your grade. Please address any questions in the comment section so that others can benefit from the answer.

There was a comment section in the previous post where this was scrolling, but now the announcement has its own post and you are welcome to offer feedback. I am not allowing you to review your previous exam because most would simply review what you missed and memorize the correct answer. I do not feel that this would validate the test. After careful consideration and discussion with others I feel that allowing you a redo of your previous exam is more than fair. Before you were warned of what to expect, now you should be fully aware that I was serious. Your exam is of AP quality where you must determine the best answer, it is not a simple knowledge based test. I will again read topics from the exam that you need to review.

I certainly hope that you have not waited and you will not continue to wait to study for your exam. This is a second chance to do well, please do not waste it.
