Chapter 7 Test

Chapter 7 Test
Please read all of these directions before continuing on:

Today, you will need to log into your deportola.org account to take the test on Chapter 7.  This is an open notes, closed-mouth test. Please have your notes out and open, so that they may be used during the test.  You may not ask your partner for help, nor may you go to any other websites or even other webpages until you are done with your test. Only your own notes and knowledge of this chapter may be used to answer the questions today.

To log into the test your username is your school ID# followed by @deportola.org   So, student 123456 would log in as 123456@deportola.org Your password is the same password that you used to log into your Netbook.  


Chapter 7 Version C  

There are NO video answers for the test corrections.  You are not able to raise your score by simply copying answers from a video.  You must figure out the answers using any of the resources at your disposal.

I would suggest that you take your time to work out the problems to the best of your ability in your Toolkit. Once you have worked out the problem completely, select the correct answer on your screen.

Once you have finished your test, double check your answers then selected “submit” at the bottom of the test.  Once you have completed the test, please turn in any weekly trackers that are in your folder; signed or not, I just want them turned in.
