Algebra 1 Course Review Problems Mills, 2018 It is very important that you review for the Algebra End of Course Exam. Here are a few pieces of
information you want to know.
Your Final is worth 10% of your overall grade
The final covers concepts from the entire year.
The final is 45 multiple choice problems, here are some tips for multiple choice problems
o Read the question before you look at the answer
o Come up with the answer in your head before looking at the possible answers, this way the
choices given on the test won't throw you off or trick you
o Eliminate answers you know aren't right
o Read all the choices before choosing your answer
o If there is no guessing penalty, always take an educated guess and select an answer
This Assignment will be collected on the day you take the 2nd part of the EOC Test
Make sure you show your work for full credit, circling the correct answer is not enough.
Points on this assignment will count towards an assignment points you might be missing (itβs
extra credit!).
