Students generally are given tests in each subject once every three to four weeks.  Teachers will announce tests about one week in advance of the test date.  In general, no more than two tests will be given in any one grade in a day, although in unusual circumstances, three may be assigned on the same day.  Because we encourage faithful church attendance on Wednesday evenings, tests are generally not given on Thursdays.

Students in grades 7 through 12 are given cumulative final examinations during the last week of the school year.  With approval from the administration, the teacher may decide to give a regular unit test during that time instead.  No more than two final examinations will be given one school day.  Final examinations are usually worth 20% of a student’s grade in a class for the year.  Secondary teachers will give study sheets and practice exams when appropriate to help students prepare to do their best on final examinations.

At the discretion of the classroom teacher, extra credit assignments may be given to deserving students.  Extra credit will not be given to students who are behind on regular assignments.
