Additional Study Resources
Don’t forget to look at the Unit 4 – 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.
