Click on **Physical Science Assignments**---Click on **CPE 1 Enrichment Pre-test**
 * CPE 1 Pretest**
 * 72 questions—Allow for plenty of time to complete this test in 1 sitting.
 * Take your time and do your best. Cheating on the pretest will be detrimental to your performance on the final exam you must take in June. On this final you must score above a 75% in order to be scheduled for the Honors Biology class.
 * A score of 85% or higher for any indicator will exempt you from that particular learning module.
 * Based on your score on the pretest, a **Learning Path** will be created for you.


 * Learning Path**
 * Take a look at your total Learning Path and **set a pace with weekly goals** that will allow you to finish the course well before the end of the year so that you will leave time to study for the final exam. On average, most kids took around an hour to complete a module.
 * **Take notes as you watch and work through the lessons.** You should consider using the Cornell Note taking style that we have used in class all year long. These notes will help you review for the final exam. I would also suggest that you create a Compass Learning Notebook to keep and organize all of your papers and notes.
 * At the conclusion of the lesson you must pass the **exit quiz** with a mastery level of 80% or higher. If you score below 80%, you will have to redo the lesson and take another exit quiz. 3 failures will lock you out of the Compass Learning System. To get “unlocked” you will need to see me at school or send me an email. afrankmann@aurora-schools.org In your email please include your 4 digit pin number so that I can get you unlocked. A third “lock-out” will require a meeting with Mr. Roberto.


 * Problems/Concerns**
 * From time to time your computer may get stuck or freeze while you are working. This problem is most likely due to bandwidth problems with your Internet connection. It happens at school, home, and even places with awesome connections. **Don’t panic.** Open your Task Manager and close out Internet Explorer and start over. Your work should be saved.
 * If you are having persistent problems, you need to let me know. Sometimes if you take a “screen shot” of the problem/error message (by clicking Control + print screen and pasting it to a word doc) it will help me troubleshoot the problem and/or forward it to the Compass Learning helpdesk.
