FINAL EXAM REVIEW
I’ve reduced the number of questions the Final Exam will pool from, to 130.
50 of the selected 130 will be on the
Final Exam.
Please be advised you are given these questions that will be on the final but
answers will vary. Do not merely memorize the letter to each question, nor
memorize the wording on the review. It will change. This means you still have to
know the answer, not memorize definitions, word for word.
In addition, the exam questions will be presented in random order, unlike the
review.
