Practice test 2 unipoll
This is a practice test to familiarize you with Unipoll testing and to help you check your own mastery of the concepts, facts, and terminology

covered by the first three lectures. Most of the questions in the real test will be delivered in TF format or multiple choice with a few pages of

gapped sentences to complete with appropriate terminology and short-answer open question toward testing your understanding of

concepts and their political or cultural relevance. Electronic tests via Unipoll feed students with random sets of questions from a question

bank for each page. This means that students will receive different sets in different orders, no two exam sheets are the same. The system

also tracks copy-pasting from outside sources. 

Should you be having trouble with understanding the task descriptions or the specific questions, you may want to go back to the course

material or consider dropping the course. 

Navigation within the exam is limited to forward-moving. Once you close a page (and thus save your answers) you cannot return to a

previous page. There is also a time limit. Exam tests are to be completed in 60 minutes. You have 20 minutes for this practice test. This

means that you answer the questions as per your best knowledge (or educated guess, or wild guess:) and then quickly move on. Should you

have content inquiries about a particular task/ question featured in the test and neither the textbook nor the lecture notes offer guidance,

you may contact me at trixiebalogh@yahoo.com.

Assuming that you have already progressed with reading the textbook and are studying the lectures in line with the proposed time-table this

practice test is now available until 8 pm Sunday (for your contact weekend in the part-time program). Similar tests will be furnished for the

other two occasions. Good Luck!
