Test Grades
Ultimately, low test grades can significantly impact a student's average. If you have any low test grades from this quarter, it might be pulling down your entire grade, even if your Daily, Homework and Lab grades are great! If you need to improve a test grade for this quarter, please schedule a retest with your teacher. Preparing well for a retest can often be the best way to improve your average in a class. The maximum grade that a student can earn from a retest is a 70.
