Exam II icon How To Study For Exam II


Here are a few hints on how to study for Exam II. First, the basics:
  • Exam #2 covers Chapter 3, Chapter 4 & Chapter 5. There will be 25 multiple choice questions and between three and five short answer questions on the exam. Each multiple choice question will have five possible answers. The exam will last approximately two hours.
  • You will need to bring a scantron (50 questions on each side to avoid a manual grading point penalty), your calculator and a pencil to the exam. No notes will be allowed.
  • You should be able to know how you did on the exam by Friday of the same week. A "grade summary" sheet will be stapled to the back of the exam showing how you are doing in the class so far, etc. It's important to look at this form carefully to ensure that the grades you are receiving match the grades in my grade book, see if you have any missing lab reports, etc.

Generally, it will be important to know the material and to know it well enough to complete the problems relatively quickly. By this time you should have a good exposure to the material, so the concepts will be familiar to you. If you do run into concepts which trouble you, be sure to check out the Chapter Guides for Chapter 3, Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 which are encapsulated in Lesson Four and Lesson Five.

The goal should be to try to do the problems accurately and quickly simultaneously. Here are some resources which may help you to prepare for the exam:

Good luck with your studying! As always, let me know if you have any questions. Peace, --- Michael
