'e have already tried out many of these problems before! and this
review gives relatively few practice problems for some of the more
difficult concepts we have studied. (ake sure! after completing
some or all of these problems to move on to Step 2 of this )tudy
*utline.
+uring Step 1! create a draft of
your ,ote )heet. -se one or
more! full#si.ed pieces of paper to
write down all possible
formulas/examples you might
need on the test
Step 2
+uring Step 2! create your final
01 x 11 ,ote )heet. 2egin by
using only the formulas and
examples of the concepts you
have the most difficulty with. 3f
you have extra space! of course
put some extra formulas and
examples on your sheet.
Focusing on the topics you have struggled with more deeply! try out
the 4extbook 5ui..es for the sections we have covered that you have
had the most difficulty with. 6ou will find the 7ui..es at the bottom
of each of the following pages8

your ,otes )heet. (ake sure to
include example problems of the
hardest topics.
Focus on the sections you have the most difficulties with and clear
up your misunderstandings with those topics. =ere are a few of the
topics that were possibly the most difficult in chapters % through ;8

while you try out the Practice
4ests and actual tests from class.
,ow! try out your knowledge and ,otes )heet on the Practice Final!
practice tests provided for you in the book! and any of the previous
5ui..es! 4ests and 4est >etakes that we took in class. Feel free to
re7uest fresh copies of any of the tests from (r. =alpin. ?ll of these
