This is a practice test of fifteen questions. You will have fifty questions on the actual test. Go ahead and take this test and check your answers by finding them in your Medical Terminology book. When you feel you're ready for the actual test, let me know. After you've taken the actual test, just email it to me with the words "Medical Terminology Test Done" in the subject line of the email.
