EXAMS
Christ the King students are prepared for high school, in part, by exposing them to cumulative exams at the end of each semester in grades 7 and 8. Such tests are given in religion, science, math, history, grammar, and literature. Study sheets and review times are provided in all subjects, and typically, the exam is calculated as 1/7 of the semester grade.
