This exam will allow you to fully demonstrate your knowledge of the content of the course.  While you will not have to show mastery of every topic (you get some choice), you will want to give yourself some flexibility in  question selection if you have more topics under your belt.

​

Below is a calendar of our in-class and after school (optional) revision sessions.  Please attempt to review the content focus of the lesson before you come to class.  While Mr. Johnson will provide structures to support you, your revision is your responsibility.
