FRQ Notes...
To access the FRQ guide, go to test prep and scroll down until you see "FRQ Questions and Rubrics with Sample Answers." Read through them very carefully!

Your 4th quarter grade will be calculated via the following method:
- You will start your 4th quarter grade with ending GPA of 3rd quarter (e.g. If you got a 76% last quarter, you will begin this quarter with a 76%)
- The lowest quarterly GPA you can begin with is 72.5%
- Weekly grades will be given on a 1-4 numerical scale. If you earn a 3, that number will add 3 percentage points to your 4th quarter grade. (e.g. You started with a 76%. You earned a 3 for week 1, which lifts you to a 79%.)
