Welcome Back, Kotter: Kotter Makes Good

This George Yanok story has Gabe retaking exams from his senior year ("ten years ago") because the records have been temporarily lost.  The Sweathogs help him study.  At this point in the series, the characters are well enough established that they can easily imitate each other.  Note the references to a mood ring and the new math, dating this very clearly as the mid-'70s.  It feels like the episode ran a little short, since there are two scenes at the end where Gabe tells Julie a joke, and the end credits extend beyond Unicycle Kid.
