NCFE English I Information and Review Resources
Folks, everything you need for your NCFE is attached or linked below. You are well-prepared, and you will do very well on your midterm. Remember that often students spend less time preparing for reading comprehension assessments and more time for assessments where facts, statistics, and "black and white" answer choices are anticipated. Be careful in making that decision. Please review all review materials before determining how much you should prepare.
