There is detailed information about the exams at this link. Please read it carefully – it contains the answers to many frequently asked questions. Let me know if you have additional questions after reading it.
For this exam, you will be provided a copy of the Periodic Table for Units 1-3. A copy of the periodic table you will receive is at this link.
Additional Study Resources
Don’t forget to look at the Unit 3 – additional study resources page on this Website. It contains many resources to help you prepare for the exam. Please take a look at them. One of those resources is a practice exam. Please read more about the practice exam below:
Practice Exam
What the practice exam is:
This practice exam will be similar in length, number of questions, types of questions (multiple choice, short answer, numerical problems, etc) to your exam. The practice exam will be useful as a general review and will help you see
how prepared you are. If the practice exam (without looking at your notes) is easy for you, the actual exam probably will be. If it is difficult, the actual exam probably will be.
What the practice exam is NOT:
The actual exam will NOT be the same as the practice exam with only a few numbers changed. Do NOT think that if you only study and memorize the questions on the practice exam that you will be ready for the exam because the questions will be the same.
Unit 4 is next.
There are two topics in Unit 4: Chemical Equilibrium and Acids and Bases. It is a shorter unit than the previous units, so the next exam will be coming up fairly quickly. See the Online Course Schedule for suggested study dates and due dates.
Best wishes for a strong showing in Exam 3 and please let me know if I can answer any questions or be of assistance.
