IB Testing
A few reminders for test preparation:
- Get good sleep
- Eat a good breakfast
- Use breathing and other anxiety reducing techniques
- You know what you know: Have confidence in yourself!
- Step up to the challenge: You have worked really hard to get this opportunity
IB testing is perhaps the most money you will make per hour, in your lifetime. Think about it; a few hour test can equal a course of college. The average course cost at UW is $1500! See the chart below for examples.
Senior Events & Graduation
Senior events can be found below. The most important thing is to pass your classes and complete your High School & Beyond Plan! Please communicate with teachers if you are concerned about grades, as your transcript and future is determined by you passing classes!
