IED Review topics for PLTW EOC

No students are exempt from this EOC exam and my final exam. I have posted on the class calendar the dates for your
PLTW EOC. There is a narrow window for this test so if you will be out for that date – please let me know as soon as you
know. The PLTW EOC is online and you will be given only a formula sheet. You can use your own calculator or the one in
the exam and I will have some to use. Students who score a 6 or better put of 9, and maintain an 85 in the class can
apply for college credit for the class. I will send out details for this process in May. The score on this exam along with
additional components given on PISD Exams days will be used to determine your final exam grade. Students will need to
complete both parts to pass the final exam grade for the spring semester.

Topics in the sections listed above: there are more topics listed in these sections but I will list the key topics that I have
seen emphasized on the test. Use your MYPLTW for Powerpoint presentations.
