 * __ B.S. SAT PREP __**: In addition to each vocabulary unit, we will be adding an additional 1-2 grammar rules and 1 reading comprehension passage, both of which you will be tested on. In previous years we have added an extra 5 SAT words, but we are NOT continuing that at this time.


 * __ General Schedule __**: Bi-weekly - Each unit takes two weeks to complete. On the first Friday, the vocabulary and SAT homework is due. Homework is worth 8-15 pts and it will be reviewed in class. Then, the following Friday students will be tested on the current unit. Each test is worth 40pts.


 * __ Homework Requirements __**: In order to receive full credit, students must complete the book work and SAT packet work for each unit BEFORE coming to class. They must complete the "fill-in-the-blank" section and the "synonym and antonym" section in the Sadlier-Oxford book and the handouts in the B.S. SAT packet.
 * Late Work: Students may complete the original assignment plus the two extra sections in the orange vocab book (choosing the right word & reading passage) for up to 75% of the points.
