Midterm Exam Review Guide
Mr. Havens
The Midterm Exam is a comprehensive exam covering all of the material that you have learned
from the beginning of the semester until now. This exam, together with the Final Exam constitutes
40% of your course grade. This exam will cover material from the Ancient Greece, Ancient Roman
Republic, and Ancient Roman Empire units. The Exam is divided into three parts. Part I includes
questions in the Fill-in-the-blank format, Part II is Multiple Choice, and Part III is Maps.
In order to achieve mastery on a given part, you must answer 80% of the questions correctly. If
you do not achieve mastery on a given part on the first attempt, you may retake that part up to two
more times within the week designated for retakes. If and when you do score 80% on any retaken
parts, your score for that part will be an average of the high and low scores with a maximum possible
score of 80% on that retaken part. The first retakes will take place during class but final retakes must
take place either before or after school. If, after all of your retake attempts, you have not mastered a
given part, you will receive a zero for that part.
