Spelling/Etc. Test #6 (47
points possible)
As always, look for mistakes to find and fix for extra credit. Make
an extra credit box and record any extra credit you may have earned through
the week. Be sure to tell where it came from. If you are "exempt" from
vocabulary, skip #21-#25--writing "exempt" across those--and then do the
odd numbered ones after that--writing "exempt" on the one you skip.
