High School Exams
May 4rd-May 10th
Purpose: The purpose of the may exams is to provide students with an opportunity to practice taking a cumulative exam in a testing environment. It is an opportunity for students to learn how to study, learn, and retain content over time. This is not a high-stakes exam. It is a learning opportunity and another tool to help assess their learning.
In order to help facilitate this experience exam invigilators will use many of the IB testing rules and regulations.
Students who are outside of the country will be taking their exams through examnet. Links will be sent out a day before the exam. All other students will be required to attend school to take their exams.
