Re-take on Tuesday

In order to retake the test on Tuesday you MUST have a passing score on the Word 2007 practice exam.

If you do have a passing score on the practice exam, I will allow you to retake the test on Tuesday. The only difference for the test will be that there will only be 3 tries per question. That shouldn't be hard...because now everyone will have STUDIED! This is the only time this year we will be doing this.

David
