EXAM REVIEW (PRACTICE, UNGRADED)

You will randomly receive questions in order to help you self-evaluate your readiness for your exam.

different questions each time. Points earned do not go towards your final grade. This is an ungraded
activity.

This exam review helps you to reflect on your strengths and areas for improvement prior to taking the
exam. The exam questions will be presented in a similar way. This practice quiz will show you a subset of
questions. Take this practice exam as multiple times. Take this until you find that you get the score you
want on the midterm two or three times in a row.

You can retake it as many times as you would like to achieve a higher score and also familiarize
yourself with the type of questions which may appear on the exam.
