1 Practice TestsIndexup to index

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.

The single-page versions of the tests are provided for accessibility and screen readers. They have different answer keys than the multi-page tests; don’t mix the two.

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.

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.

1.1 Practice Test #1Indexup to index

1.2 Practice Test #2Indexup to index

Each practice test tries not to include many questions from any previous practice test, but each real test is cumulative and includes questions from all previous practice tests. To prepare for Midterm #2, use both practice test #1 and practice test #2.

1.3 Practice Test #3Indexup to index

Each practice test tries not to include many questions from any previous practice test, but each real test is cumulative and includes questions from all previous practice tests. To prepare for the final exam, use all the practice tests.

2 Blackboard QuizzesIndexup to index

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 practice questions and only see each question once, use these PDF files, not the online Quizzes.

3 Real Tests and ExamsIndexup to index

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.

Read the Test Instructions (all the words) before each test.

3.1 Midterm #1Indexup to index

Read the Test Instructions (all the words) before your first midterm test. For full marks, enter the correct information on the mark-sense form and on your question sheet.

3.2 Midterm #2Indexup to index

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.

3.3 The Final ExamIndexup to index

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.
