After doing some final touch up work on the student's English review, I believe she is very well prepared for her Saturday Final. We read through some of her old essays from the year which had overlapping themes that were to be tested on the exam, went through her English plot flashcards from the three major works that they read, and discussed possible connections between different topics. After that we did a solid hour of Classical Civ work, with the student making great strides on her memorization, and started discussing the possible quote identification sources for her test.

Reviewed percents (good) and functions (still a bit confusing) as a warm-up. Then took a practice test (one of the two math sections, so 25 minutes).

Showed her how the scores are calculated.
