Heard from my son that he also did well on the test. Said most of the class did well. I guess sea bag inspection is next on the agenda.

I did talk to my son last night and he confirmed he had a test Wed as well, he said he did really well and he was finished early with his homework last night. He seems more relaxed so far this phase so I am praying it stays this way.

Just spoke to son, so far so good.....physics and heat transfer should be no problem. Somewhat concerned about the math phase they are also in now. He knows the work and can get the right answers....just cant do the problems fast, and that is his concern. Praying that he does well. He is still on Vol hrs but is planning on going in today and tomorrow to work more on math.....just needs to get faster at doing the problems.
On a lighter note he did go out to dinner and caught a movie with some friends last night.

fortunately,myy son did very well. I didn't know they have another test on Monday. I guess that is why they say power school is harder that A School. Test, test and more test. Good luck everyone.

Does any one know if this means that they are done with their physics instruction and are moving on to another subject? Will there only be one physics test?

My understanding is they have physics, math, and heat transfer for a total of 8 weeks before they get their next subjects.
