I know that we are not permitted to stop or edit the recording (unless there is a fire alarm, passing out papers, etc.) but can we edit the sound quality? You can hear me just fine, but my students are timid and quiet. Are we permitted to raise the volume when students talk and lower it when I talk?

These are the components I'm > working on this year. I received a 3.0 on C3, I figured out the way to write for this, I think. So I have C1:2,2,2,2.23; C2: 1.25; C3:3.0. According to the calculator, I have a combined score of 1.917, even if I score a 2 on the 4th component, my average should be high enough. I agree with biophysteach, I don't see anywhere where an exact needed score is stated at this time. Now I have the dilemma of deciding whether to shuck out $475 dollars to retake C2 and an additional $475 to take C4, or just hope that once these weighted scores are fixed in stone, that I will be alright with what I have. This whole process is beginning to sound and feel more like a big racket!!!
What WorksYes. It's called Successful Strategies for Pursuing National Board Certification; Version 3.0, Components 1 and 2. The sequel for Components 3 and 4 are available this week - both are on amazon.

If I can score a 3 on C4 then it looks like my total weighted score is 2.67. If I were to retake C1, E1 and get a 3 my weighted score would be 2.74.
Do I just need to suck it up and retake C3? I was expecting the 2 as I didn't put the time into C3 that I needed to.
When they say the cut score will be released late 2017 does this mean I'll know what I need to achieve NB status at the same time that I receive my C4 score?
How heavily weighted is C4 traditionally? If 2.75 is likely to be the cut off, I would need a 2.4- assuming everything is equally weighted-which I don't believe it will be. My question is will C4 be a major component or not?

That being said, we obviously don't know the total score we are shooting for.
