Note: The timer on the test doesn't start till you login with your ID number. When you press START the timer begins.
The test is 50 questions and you have 50 minutes to complete the test.
The test is open book and open notes.

This review has many items on it, some are in the book, some are off the lecture notes and some you just have to search for on the Internet. I went over just about everything on here during lecture in class, if you weren't you have to look it up.

This is just a template of ideas that I will write the test. You should make sure you cover all the lectures, readings and quizzes to be completely prepared for the test.
