Testing hours and locations are at this link
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 4-5 You can see the Table in the Unit 5 Folder under content in D2L.
There are resources in the Unit 5 Folder under Content to help you prepare. 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.
Tutoring Opportunities
LCC Tutoring is offering Exam 5 Prep help sessions free to all CHEM 151 students. Information about the sessions is shown here and a link given specific dates and times is here. Please let me know if you have questions about these sessions. The general Fall 2022 Chemistry Tutoring Schedule is at this link.
Please let me know if you have questions as you prepare for the exam – I’d be happy to help!
Final Exam
The final exam will also be a pencil and paper exam in the Testing Center. The exam will be available Thursday 12/8 – Saturday 12/10 (note no Monday availability).
I will post and send out detailed information about the Final Exam this Friday or Saturday.
