For Chemistry 1 I give a 50 to 60 question mc test with 2 or 3 lab stations.
For Honors Chemistry 1 I give a 100 question mc test. I don't do in class
review because it is a waste of time. I list 4 or 5 times before/after school
when students can come for a review session. I give out a study guide telling
them what they can use for the final (PT, calculator, 1 page hand written
notes), and question categories with number of questions.
My final is weighted 10% because we have an exemption/waiver policy so the top
students aren't taking the final. I'm giving an honors final right now and 5
students are here. Anyone with a 96% is automatically exempt from the final.
If a student is absent 2 days or less they get a waiver they can use in any
class as long as they have an 86% or higher.
I always curve the final exam scores. This is the only test I do curve, but
because of the above situation I feel it is necessary.
