Final exams may consist of a written test, project, paper, presentation, etc., depending on the class. The student’s final grade for the semester will be determined by their cumulative grades throughout the course of the entire semester. Students were notified at the beginning of the semester what the Coursework and Final Exam will be weighted for each class. Some courses have a 100% Coursework, 90% Coursework/10% Final Exam, 80% Coursework/20% Final Exam, or 85% Coursework/15% Final Exam designation.

MCHS has transitioned to a three-day final exam schedule to reduce the number of exams a student may have in one day, allowing preparation and study time during the day, a make-up session for those needing it, or extended time for those with accommodations. This also assists with teachers being able to grade exams and post semester grades in IC, so counselors can review and confirm student’s semester 2 schedule, as some semester 1 courses are prerequisites to take the next course in sequence during semester 2. Students staying for the last period of the day for a make-up exam or to have a quiet place to study will be required to request lunch if needed, and transportation if eligible.

EXAM GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS:

Students must arrive at school in time for their first exam for the day.

Once on campus, they must stay until they have completed their last exam.
Students may not leave an exam until the end of the exam period. Students are not to be in the halls during exams. No hall passes will be issued.
Students assigned to Assisted Study Hall or Resource Study Skills are required to attend class except during the 8th hour finals period.
Students arriving after 7:50 am should enter the school by the commons at Door #18.
There will be quiet study in the commons during the day.
Students who need to miss an exam must fill out a prearranged absence form and get administrative approval. Students will not be allowed to take final exams earlier than 12/19. Students can make arrangements to take these during Winter Break, or will be responsible for scheduling these with their teachers the first two days of the second semester in January.
Students who have had extended absences prior to any finals, may make arrangements to take finals over Winter Break upon teacher approval, in order to make up missed work during their absence and better prepare for the exam.
Buses for eligible students will run as stated in the exam schedule above; eligible students staying for extra time must request transportation in advance.
Students are required to be in attendance during the period an exam is scheduled. Students that are not approved to miss an exam will receive a failing mark on the exam.
Students out of school suspended will be assigned a make-up time and date through the Administration Office.
