Online Test - February Break
This Test is for JKO students in EARTH SCIENCE. Please make sure you have your ESRT - (Earth Science Reference Table) BEFORE beginning the test. . . You WILL need to use it to answer some of the questions. You are allowed to use any other sources (internet, dictionary) to answer the questions. You have 2 chances to take this test. So if you do not like your score the 1st time. . . . Take it again! The better score will be used in the gradebook. Scores are automatically sent to your teacher. BUT. . . . . Print out your score certificate and receive 5 bonus points :) GOOD LUCK!
