Any questions on the 2.6 homework on formulas and problem solving? Please close your laptops now – You will have time to get a good start on the practice test after the short lecture today.
Test 1 Covers all sections covered so far this semester:Chapter 1:(Working with real numbers) Sections 1.2 through 1.8Chapter 2:(Equations & Problem Solving) Sections 2.1 through 2.5No calculators are allowed for this test.(You will be able to use them for all remaining quizzes and tests except Gateway quizzes after this test.)
To study for the test: Take Practice Test 1 • The Practice Tests is a regular, required assignment. Your best score on the practice test DOES count 15 points toward your overall course grade. Not taking it at all gives you a zero score out of the 15 points for the assignment. • You can take the practice test as many times as you want, and only your best score will count for points. • The practice test has the same number of questions (20) as the real test that you will take in class. • Each time you take the practice test, you will get a different set of questions. The more times you take it, the more likely you will see all of the types of question that will be on the real test. • When you REVIEW a completed practice test, you will be able to use the “Help Me Solve This” and other learning aids, but they will not be available when you are taking the practice test or the real test. • You have 75 minutes per attempt at the practice test. • You will have 55 minutes to take the regular test in class.
Why you should take advantage of the opportunity to take the practice test:
Additonal things you can do to study for the test: Review the homework from the sections in which you missed questions on the practice test. (Review homework by using the “Gradebook” function, not the “Assignments” button.) Review Quizzes 1 and 2using the Gradebook button. Using the online gradebook: Click “Review” to view any completed quiz/test (including practice versions) or HW assignment. Review your notes and/or the online lecture slides(online under each Assignment heading).
Reminders: • Be on time so you’re logged in and ready to go when I give you the password. (This is especially important for tests since they will take the entire 55-minute class period.) • Bring your POWER CORD. (Your power cord is an especially important item for the hour-long tests, since you don’t want to run out of battery power before you finish.) • REMEMBER TO SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK on the answer/worksheet provided so that we can award partial credit for partially correct work or typos.
Do any of you who have already started the practice test have any questions you’d like to have explained?
Go ahead and start the practice test, and we’ll come around to help if you have questions. Remember, the open lab staff will also be available to help you with preparing for the test outside of class time.
