  1. Review everything that he has covered in the course so far and find any non-covered material on the exam
  2. Review his lesson objectives and determine if his test was referenced to them
  3. Regrade the exams on a curve so that the material learned earlier in the year counts less than than the material learned more recently
  4. None of the above
Explanation

Answer: B - Mr. Ellison should review his lesson objectives and determine if his test was referenced to them. In order to design a proper test, a teacher must take into account the objectives of the lessons, the success of meeting the objectives, and that the test is aligned to the objectives stated for the lesson or unit.
