** Expected study time is an estimate on the amount of outside of school time it may take to prepare for the exam or other assessment. We recognize that individual students vary greatly in their preparation and study skills, and some students may need less time and others may need more. Please consult the classroom teacher or our Learning Specialist, Heather Larrabee if you have questions.
