We are starting the final chapter of the school year, and one, last wave of tests remains.  Here are the reviews for the last major test (chapters 10 and 11) and the Spring semester final exam:

The Chapter 10 Exam (Conic Sections) is still a few weeks away (~April 23/24), but is one of the most difficult of the course.  To help prepare for this test, we are posting the review a bit earlier than normal:

Algebra II Chapter 10 Review (pdf) | Review Solutions (pdf)

The main links are in Word format, but the pdf links are available as well (the graphs seem to print out a little nicer in Word, but if you have trouble getting the .doc to work right, try the PDFs).

This is it!  We're down to the final six weeks of the year (with TAKS testing sandwiched in the middle).  Here is the syllabus/homework schedule:

AlgII 6th sw 2008 revised.pdf

Our 5th six weeks exam is coming up next week; here are the review and the solutions:

Algebra II Chapter 9 (and 8) Review.pdf | SOLUTIONS | Graph Paper

(The solutions are in Word format, but if for some reason that doesn't work for you, here are the solutions in PDF format.)

As you can tell... it's lengthy... and it covers the ENTIRE six weeks, so please don't put this off until the night before the test!
