FINALLY
You need to practice writing an exam. So, find a quiet spot where you will not be disturbed for 2 hours. Make sure that you have all of your necessary equipment. Put your notes away and do a variety of questions from the Course Review on pages 438 – 447. To give you an idea of timing, last year the exam had 5 short answer questions and 12 long answer questions. On page 438, question 5 is a good example of a short answer question and question 10 is a good example of a long answer question. Be sure to check your solutions with the back of the book pages, 564 – 567. If you have any questions, come see me for extra help.
