Se sugiere grabar en video todo el proceso de presentación de la evaluación, de principio a fin, en el video debe aparecer el estudiante que presenta la evaluación y la pantalla del computador o dispositivo usado para la presentación de la evaluación.

Link to access to the platform to present the remedial test:
https://www.testportal.net/test.html?t=37tKqkJ3acwn
This platform will be available only from 2:00 pm to 2:30 pm
This is the remedial test for those students who didn´t approve English subject after finishing the 4th term. Each of the 10 questions has a limited time to be solved and there is just one correct answer for each one. You need at least 6 points (correct answers) to be approved, otherwise, you will fail the exam. Be sure you enter the information required (full name and grade) before starting the test. There is only one chance to present this test, so do not try to access it more than once, otherwise, your test will be nullified as a fraud attempt and the score would be cero, independently of the possible score you could get. Any sign of fraud will result in nullification of the test.
November 30th
Hemos finalizado actividades de cuarto periodo y con ello las actividades del año, puden revisar sus notas que ya se encuentran en la plataforma del colegio.
Los estudiantes cuyos resultados no hayan sido suficientes para aprobar el área de inglés para el año 2020, y no hayan reprobado más de tres áreas para el año al ciere del cuarto perido, puden optar por presentar la recuperación del año de inglés.
Tal recuperación tiene como trabajo-taller de recuperación el estudio y repaso personal del material y los temas vistos durante éste año y que se encuentran en éste blog. Allí encontrarán el material de apoyo que se ha venido compartiendo con ustedes desde el segundo perido(videos, páginas con explicaciones, páginas con ejercicios de práctica, etc). Tal preparación no conlleva alguna nota, debe ser un ejercicio a voluntad personal que le permita prepararse para la prueba que se presentará con el propósito de recuperar el área de inglés para el año.
Posteriormente y luego de haberse preparado, se presentará la prueba que se hará de manera virtual y usando la misma plataforma que se ha usado para presentar las últimas evaluaciones finales de cada periodo. El jueves 3 de diciembre se comunicará, cinco minutos antes de iniciar el tiempo destinado para la prueba, por éste medio (en éste blog y en ésta pestaña) el link de accseso a la plataforma en la que se presentará el examen de recuperación de inglés. La presentación del exámen será a las 2: 00 pm Las preguntas y los puntos a resolver estarán relacionados con el material y los temas vistos durante el año. Cada pregunta tendrá un tiempo límite para ser resulta y el examen se anulará en caso de que se intente presentar la evalución más de una vez. En general las condiciones de presentación de ésta prueba son muy similares a las evaluaciones finales anteriores.

You have 2.5 minutes per point to answer this test. You only have one chance to take this evaluation, any other additional attempt to take it will nullify your possible score. This will work as a remedial activity for the students who need to fix result issues for the third and/or the fourth term, in such cases, the score must be at least 4/5 and to have presented all the activities of the term to fix. Good luck

https://www.testportal.net/test.html?t=5Q8r4LZutCmV
Answer to each one of the test questions based on the material left in the blog for third term, as well as the grammar topics we checked. Choose only one answer option. Pay attention to both: grammar and logic accuracy of the option you choose. You have only one chance to answer the test, in case you try to answer from another device different from the one that you originally used to start the test, or if you try to access again, the test will be blocked and invalidated for you.
Be sure to write correctly your name and grade (class group)
In case the student requires the remedy activity, the final test will serve this purpose. In such a case, if the student approved the test with a score of three, the remedy score would be applied to this term. In case the student got a score of 4 or more, it would remedy the previous term if the student reproved it.
As soon as you click on the "Start the Test" button, you will have 2 minutes per question to answer to the test
