Life of Fred users, final exam and where to go next?

[hsbeth]

I have a student who is about to finish Geometry. I'm considering giving her a final exam. Any ideas on where to find one? Do others give their students traditional finals?

Also, we'll have about 8 weeks left in her school year when she finishes. Can someone recommend a good SAT math prep for her to work on for these last few weeks? Other ideas?

She's in 8th grade.
Thanks!

We didn't do a final exam for LoF Geometry in written form, but I did an oral one with no proofs for my sake (and graded it.) I used the review at the back and had dd give definitions, etc. We're not at SAT review time yet, but I'm thinking about getting the Princeton one. I'll see what people recommend here.

Thanks for your ideas, Karin? Anyone else?

Here's a pdf link (http://www.lanecc.edu/math/documents/reviewsheets/math97.pdf) to a set of math review sheet for students who wish to pass out of a high school equivalent Geometry class in order to take higher level math classes at a community college. Answers are provided.

You might also try Googling Geometry final to see what pops up.

Thanks for the link, Kareni. I had googled a few weeks back and not found anything that seemed to fit the bill, I had better luck this morning. If anyone is interested I'll post a link for the two options I'm looking at.

Interested! Yes, post them, please! :D

Sorry, it took me a bit to get back to this. Kareni's suggested link looked good. My other two possibles are:

and

www.staff.bourbon.kyschools.us/wp/.../2009-geometry-review.doc (http://www.staff.bourbon.kyschools.us/wp/.../2009-geometry-review.doc)

Both have answer keys, just need to look a bit more closely at them. I'm sure I'll do a bit of tweaking to either.

Thank you so much for posting these! :)

Oh, rats. The 2nd link isn't working for me! :(

Just seeing this. Thank you! :)

Thank you for the links! :001_smile:

I'm writing my own. I'll have a section on terms - taking definitions etc from the Appendix in the back and then I'll have a variety of problems - some from each chapter. We didn't do the 1/2 chapters so I will probably pull a couple from there that she might be able to deduce and use those as bonus questions.
