Download Heads-up for Daily Assessments (beginning Tuesday, April 28th!)

AP-C Daily Assessments 2009
The daily assessments are conducted under timed conditions. You may use the equation sheet for
the FR section(s). If you wish to use the equation sheet for the MC section, you forfeit a 5% daily bonus.
If you have an excused absence and miss one or more of the assessments, you must make them up.
Preferably this makeup will occur prior to the AP Physics exams on Monday, May 11th. As an AP-C
student, you are required to take both the AP-C: Mechanics and the AP-C: Electricity & Magnetism
exams.
