“I think I can pass if I try my best, but some of the questions are hard. Sitting in class for three hours when we’re not testing feels pointless—they should let us do something else.” Kevin Benitez, freshman, said.
The academic year will conclude with underclass exams from June 5-10, with half-day dismissals at 11:30 a.m.. Make-up sessions and retakes have been scheduled throughout the testing period to ensure all students have the opportunity to complete their assessments.
