Final Exam for Wicca 101
This is a new final exam – the old one was basically a high school type test. Meaning it was mostly based on memorizing information. You have a Book of Shadows for this. This new test which can be give oral or written is more of a college level test or blue book test as they called them when I went to college. This measures what you know and understand. Where a high school type test is black and white with only one correct answer, this type of test has shades of gray to it. Many of the questions can be answered many different ways and be correct. The answers we need, need to be your thoughts, your understanding of the question. And finally on a test like this there are only two possible grades – pass or fail. In your answers add as much personal experience as possible. If this is a live class, you will need to cast a circle as part of the final. If this is not a live class and you cannot yet cast your own circle, you are not ready to take this test.
