Grammar-Final test over Unit 9  Score-76%.  Reviewed those which he missed.  (Evan actually knew several of the questions that he missed.

When we reviewed the missed questions and I asked them orally, he got several correct.  His actual score would be more like 90%. He only needs to believe that English is not his worst subject, but that he is actually very, very good at it.
