Final Review

[return to Principles home page]

 

The final exam consists of 75 multiple choice questions which are new questions (are not taken from previous exams).

 

This is a comprehensive final.  Use the review sheets from the previous units along with this one to study for the final.

 

There are three short case studies on the exam with several questions relating to them.  Read the case studies carefully because the information you need to answer the questions is in there.

 

You will have two hours to complete the exam which should be more than enough time for even a slower test taker.
