Use the Pre-test to See What You Know

If assigned, units begin with a pre-test. By answering questions before you study, you’ll get a perspective on what you already know.

If you get 9 or more questions correct, congratulations! You know a great deal, and you can move through the unit quickly.

1. Read the introduction and watch the video.
2. Skim the study pages.
3. Practice with LearningCurve.
4. Attempt the post-test, if assigned.

If you get 7-8 questions correct, good job! The unit will help refresh your memory before you practice with LearningCurve and attempt the post-test.

1. Read the introduction and watch the video.
2. Read through the study pages.
3. Check if the questions you missed on the pre-test were similar. If they were alike, then pay special attention to the study pages covering that material.
4. Practice with LearningCurve.
5. Attempt the post-test, if assigned.

If you get 6 or fewer questions correct, work carefully through this unit. Aim to study across several days, so plan your time for the week accordingly.

1. Read the introduction and watch the video.
2. Read the study pages, maybe several times.
   1. Try to explain each example in your own words.
   2. Try copying and pasting the examples into a document so that you can print them for color-coding or other mark-up strategies.
3. If your course also uses a textbook, review the relevant chapter and practice quizzes in the book as well.
4. Check if the questions you missed on the pre-test were similar. If they were alike, then pay special attention to the study pages covering that material. Spend extra time on the examples in these sections.
5. Practice with LearningCurve.
6. Attempt the post-test, if assigned.
