Exam Term 1, Y7Lite

You’ll find the AO free curriculum exams at the AO website but here is our Y7Lite, Term 1, exam for Fox. It was different when Lee was in Y7Lite but I still have her exam saved. We did an exam at the end of the year, so Term 3; none before that.

So, ours is different in the following ways: added Bible questions pertinent to our reading and from church sermons, a question about glow-worms for science and one for nutrition, a blank US map for geography, some math problems from his current program (that doesn’t even include any geometry), and from Jensen’s Grammar, changed a logic question, changed the format of the foreign language questions, and added a question about Joan of Arc in the history. I took out dictation and handicrafts since we’ve not done either of those. I added in turning in the notes he’s taken on current events. And I think that is about it. Seems like rather a lot but really it isn’t.
