
Read the Questions Carefully!
Ask Questions if you are Confused!
Answer Questions in Any Order
 Organized to fit on minimum number of pages
 Answer “Easiest” questions for you!
Assess Points per Time Unit
 120 minutes = 120 points
 30 minutes = 30 points
 10 minutes = 10 points
Length of Answer Matches Points
 5 points = 1/4 page = 3 or 4 sentences
 30 points - if 1/4 page - likely few points!
Exam Designed to be Longer than 120 Minutes!
333 EA-7
Hints for Taking Exam



Don't Define Concepts
 E.G., Ask About Concept X, Don't Explain
Concept X, Just Answer the Question and I'll
Know If You Know Concept X
Don't Panic, Read and Review Course Materials
Prior to Exam!
Don't Be Afraid to Not Answer a Question
 60% Correct for 100 Points = 60 Points
 90% Correct F0r 80 Points = 72 Points
Partial Credit Is the Norm
 If I Ask You to Pick and Analyze a Concept for a 5 Pt Problem You Get 1 for the Concept
and 4 for the Analysis.
