Final Grade = the AVERAGE of the two Scores!
• Your final exam score must be above a 60% in order to pass the course.
• Your final exam score is calculated by averaging the two scores together.
In the example above, the final exam score would be figured by:
62.70 + 95 = 157.7
157.7/2 = 78.85% = Passing
What is the FINAL EXAM score that this student earned? _________________
What happens if I don’t Pass?
• Your teacher will call you and set up a plan for remediation.
• Once your remediation is completed, your teacher will ask the principal for
permission to re-set your exam.
• Each exam can ONLY be re-set 1 TIME!
• If you re-take one part of the exam and that boost your exam score above a
60%, you will NOT have to take the 2nd part of the exam over.

YOUR FLVS EXAMS?
PARENTS
**Write a 3-4 sentence paragraph that
describes how you study for your FLVS
exams
When you were in school, how did you
study and prepare for YOUR tests and
exams?
Have YOU completed your DBA study
guides?
• If you checked NO, please download the
module 1, 2, and 3 DBA study guides
before taking your Segment 1 exam!
• The study guides were formatted based on
the segment exam.
• If you have those filled out you will
ensure that you will NOT miss a
question simply because you don’t
understand a vocabulary term like
imperative mood.
DBA Study Guides
1. WHERE do you find the DBA study guides for the Language Arts 3 course?
2. Name 2 reasons WHY it would be beneficial to have those filled out BEFORE you
take the Segment 1 exam

Another good study strategy for the Segment 1
Exam is to go over your Pre-Test and Module Exam
in Module 1
These reading tests are
in the SAME format as
the PART 1 of the
SEGMENT EXAM!
Why is it a good idea to look back over your
Module 1 pre-test and Module Exam?

Despite the hatred that most people feel toward cockroaches,
they do help humans in several ways. For example, they are
perfect experimental animals and are used for scientific research
in the laboratory. Breeding them is easy, for they thrive under
almost any conditions. In studies on nutrition and food,
cockroaches are good subjects because they will eat any kind of
food. They can be used to study heart disease, and cancer
researchers work with roaches because they grow cancerous
tumors like those that are found in humans.
