The Hall
Practice Tests, All Subjects - Separate or Combined,
Testing should be a year-long event. Through the Hall, students will have the opportunity to retake every testto improve their grade and increase their knowledge. These questions will eventually be on the Final.
Questions can be grouped by subject if the student wants to focus on one subject at a time or combined with other subjects. The student will select the classes they are in and the questions from their classes come up at random.
