NOTE: Be sure you know the names of all quantities discussed in the chapters covered. In addition you should know the symbol, the unit of measurement, the unit’s symbol, and the meaning of the unit (if applicable).

I would suggest the following order of preference in studying this material.

Study previous assignments and labs.

Study notes.

Use text.

The exam will consist of a maximum of 100 multiple choice and matching questions, problem solving, and 1 extended response question.

GOOD LUCK!!
