Additional Study Resources
Don’t forget to look at the Unit 5 – 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.
Final Exam
Detailed information for the final exam is listed at this link:Final Exam. Please read it carefully. There are three major differences from the unit exams for the final exam:
- It is longer. Please allocate 100 minutes to take it in the testing center.
- You are allowed to take a 3″ by 5″ index card with anything yoiu wish to write on it (2 sides, handwritten)
- The window for taking it ends on a Saturday ( available Wed 12/6 through Saturday 12/9), not Monday as the unit exams were.. If this provides undue difficulty for you, please contact me as soon as possible so we can make arrangements.
