Review for Quiz 3

Quiz 3 covers sections and 5.6 on exponents and polynomials

To study for the quiz: 1). Take Practice Quiz 3 Your best score on the practice quiz DOES count 10 points toward your course grade. A 100% score gives you 10 points, 50% gives you 5 points, and not taking it at all gives you 0 out of the 10 points. You can take the practice quiz as many times as you want, and only your best score will count for points. The practice quiz has the same number of questions (18) as the real quiz. Each time you take the practice quiz, 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 quiz. When you REVIEW a completed practice quiz, you will be able to use the “Help Me Solve This” and other learning aids, but they will not be available as you take the practice quiz or the real quiz. You have 90 minutes per attempt at the practice quiz, but you will only have 55 minutes to take the regular qui in class. On the PRACTICE QUIZ ONLY, you can do part of it, then close it (DON’T submit, just close the window) and come back later to finish it without losing any time off your clock.

Practice Test Tries Average Test Score Grade number of students 061 F C C A- 7 Why you should take advantage of the opportunity to take the practice quiz:

Studying for the quiz (continued) : 2). Review the homework from the sections in which you missed questions on the practice quiz. You can use the Study Plan button on the CourseCompass menu for this – it will generate practice questions for you that are similar to the ones you missed on the practice quiz. 3). Review your class 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 this quiz since it will take the entire 55-minute class period.) Bring your POWER CORD & CALCULATOR (yes, you do get to use it for this quiz, and the final exam.) 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 quiz have any questions you’d like to have explained?

Instructors: Spend some time here going over questions on the practice test, either from students and/or questions you’ve selected from the practice test.)

Go ahead and start the practice quiz, 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 quiz outside of class time, any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays.
