Study: your quizzes, notes, labs, assignments, and homework. If you have time, re-read parts of the text (Chapters 5 and 6) and practice the chemistry quizzes on the zeroBio Web site.
Major Topics on Chemistry Test #1 Bring: a calculator, pen, pencil, eraser, paper, ruler, and something to read if you finish early. Periodic tables can not be used.
Tests: typically include multiple choice, true-false, matching, drawing diagrams and reactions, and written answers and range from 75 to 100 marks. You have the whole period to finish if necessary. The Chemistry Unit will be split into two parts with Test #1 and Test #2.
