Test corrections

If you made below an 84, you are eligible to do test corrections. If you made above a 70 and do test corrections, the highest grade you can earn is an 84. If you made below a 70, I will take your old score and average in a 100, and that new score will become your test grade. You must do test corrections on a separate sheet of notebook paper. They are due on Monday if you want the credit! You rewrite the question / definition and the answer, you DO NOT simply change the letter answer. The number of your test correction should match the number of your test question that you missed.
