% Practice Test README Information % Ian! D. Allen - - [www.idallen.com] % Fall 2014 - September to December 2014 - Updated Tue Nov 11 12:22:45 EST 2014 Practice Tests ============== Practice questions are samples only. The actual questions on the Midterms and Final Exam may be different. There may be a few new questions on the tests and exams that don’t appear here. You can also see previous midterm tests in the notes area of previous terms that I have taught this course. See my [Teaching Home Page]. - - all practice questions for Midterm #1 - [Answer File #1] - - mostly *new* practice questions for Midterm #2 - tries not to include many questions from any previous tests - [Answer File #2] - - mostly *new* practice questions for the Final Exam - tries not to include many questions from any previous tests - [Answer File #3] Blackboard has some Quizzes containing samples from the above question pools, but the quizzes will often repeat questions and not all practice questions may be sampled. If you want to see all the questions and only see each question *once*, use these PDF files, not the online Quizzes. Slight variations in wording or formatting may mean that a question is shown as “new” even though a question similar to it appeared in a previous practice question set. Small changes generate “new” questions. Real Tests and Exams ==================== Each real test is cumulative and includes questions from **all** previous tests and practice tests, especially questions that were not well-answered on previous tests. Midterm #2 ----------- Midterm #2 emphasizes material covered since Midterm #1, but it includes many questions from material covered in Midterm #1 (especially the questions from Midterm #1 that were not answered correctly). Midterm #2 includes questions on the entire course up to the week before the test, and that means it contains questions from *all* previous practice sets. The Final Exam -------------- The Final Exam is a comprehensive exam of **all** course material. The Final Exam emphasizes slightly material covered since Midterm #2, but it includes many questions from material covered in Midterm #1 and #2 (especially the questions from those tests that were not answered correctly). The Final Exam includes questions on the entire course, and that means it contains questions from *all* the practice question sets. -- | Ian! D.
