      • Remember, only logged tests taken in Mr. Janes' presence will be counted
    • The A/R Log is here.
      • You do not need access to this document each time you test but it must be completed AFTER any test you want considered and then immediately returned to Mr. Janes. In other words, if you bomb a test, don't note it on your log as you don't want it for a grade. Log and turn in only high scores.
