9:25-10:45 Friday, June 14th 2013
As with any test, the most important thing is that you demonstrate as much good mathematics as possible. This is your opportunity to show me what you've learned this semester. Use your time wisely- 80 minutes is a long time, but you will probably want to use it all for working and checking. Some of you will finish early. If you do, take a break and then start checking answers and re-doing those that are incorrect.

Coverage & Exam Format:
The exam will have 25 questions assessing all the material we studied this semester. You will be able to use your calculator/laptop (no internet) and the front side of a notecard. You may choose 20 questions to answer and star 5 for bonus. You are allowed a maximum of 100 minutes on the exam, and it must be completed by the end of the day Friday. Partial credit is awarded for working shown on the test.

Our second semester units covered chapters 6-10 and sections 5.1, 5.4, 5.5 in your text book.

The exam is 20% of your semester grade. To see how this one test affects your overall grade, copy this grade calculator to your Google Drive (File-Make a copy) and play...

To review:

 * Do the practice exam!!! Solutions here.
 * Skim through the text to remind yourself of the topics. Pay particular attention to the bold vocabulary words and the boxed formulas and theorems.
 * Use the Khan Academy videos and practice problems for geometry!
 * As you review, ask yourself what problems you should expect to see on the exam.
 * Take notes on your note card (one side only!). Your note card can have formulas, definitions, reminders, words of wisdom, etc. There is only one requirements: all work on the note card must be in your own handwriting or typed by you.

On the day of the Final Exam:

 * Make sure you're well rested- don't stay up late the night before and then try to compensate with an energy drink. Energy drinks do not focus your mind- studies show they make it more difficult to think and concentrate.
 * Get to the exam early if possible.
 * Don't forget your note card!
 * Bring a ruler, pencil, eraser, graph paper, and calculator.

During the Final Exam:

 * Don't panic.
 * Remember that the only way to get a zero on the exam is to skip it, do nothing, or cheat.
 * Check, double check, triple check your answers.
