Finals, eh? Haven't had them in years. Must suck for you guys.

I've got about a week and a half until ours start, and I have a few borderline grades. Honors Chemistry, Band ( :( ), and Spanish and Health are getting a bit too close too.

No Finals for me, I love exemptions :D

How do you get exempted from LA and Maths?

what Erik said ^^^

but really, Texas has these pathetic state tests that we take every year for subjects and all we have to do is pass it and we get exempted from that subject.

Our state tests are pretty pathetic too, but the finals are set by the teachers... and they're generally MUCH harder than the SOLs. Certainly we don't get a bye for passing... even pass-perfect.

Oh, no, Juli. There's "Pass," which is impossible NOT to get. Then there's "Pass Advanced" where you can only miss only like anywhere from 3-10 questions. Me? I've never passed less than advanced on a Reading or writing, and I've never gotten it on a Math one. :/

by **Juliana** on Wed May 25, 2011 6:15 am

I've never gotten less than pass-advanced on an SOL either... but today in World History we learned about the concept of "pass-perfect" when I got such on the 2007 released test we were taking for practice.
