If you answer 1-6 correctly, you have truly been a class participant, scholar, and listener.  You are certain to have a bright future because of your skill!

If you missed no more than three of the first six questions, you were apparently focused some of the time in Mr. McGill's class.

If you missed more than three questions, that is not all you missed this year!

If you got one or more of the Boni correct, you have learned good critical thinking/test taking strategies. 

Thanks for a great year students!
Yours truly,

Mr. McGill
