% Practice Test README Information % Ian! D. Allen - - [www.idallen.com] % Winter 2015 - January to Apil 2015 - Updated Wed Apr 8 15:15:11 EDT 2015 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. 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].

If you want to see *all* the practice questions and only see each question *once*, use these PDF files, not the online Quizzes. 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. Read the [Test Instructions] (all the words) before each test. Midterm #1 ----------- 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. 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.
