In order for you(and us!) to keep track of your marks and progress, we will be recording them here: You can edit these documents and as such, you are expected to put in your own marks, although your teacher will probably write down the speaking mark for each exam. Your teacher will tell you when to do each exam. This link is also available at the top of the page. If you want any guidance on how to mark exam papers, please look at this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1 CTr1RS_A4PGSRAVGxT8n62onydMxa 0posQae_QEhc/edit?usp=sharing (remember not every correct answer is worth 1 point!)
