If you need to more than 20 correct answers on the third hourly exam, perhaps you should consider the make-up exam. To estimate its effect, first estimate the score you could earn on the make-up exam. Then, substitute this score for the lower of your first or second hourly exam scores in the above table. Finally, repeat the above calculation.
Remember that you must prepare for the make-up exam, just as for any other exam, if you wish to do well.
The make-up exam will be given during the second hour of the final exam period.
