Take the "test 1 07 7th gr sci" CRT review test at the myUTIPS
link by April 25, 2011(you only get 2 tries in April, only 3 all
year!). JUST LOG IN AND TAKE THE TEST. Submit your score when
you are finished. You will have 120 min(open book, no other help
other than internet, notes, my website and the "scibertext"). I
will lower the time to 90 min after April 13, 2011. This is an
assignment and you can get bonus points depending upon your
score. 50% is a grade, 70% is competent, etc.
