Test 2 – Friday, November 4

// When is it?

The second class Midterm Exam will be Test 2 on Friday, November 4.

// What is on the test?

Test 2 will cover all topics covered since Test 1, that is, everything from the sixth through tenth weeks of class:

  • All of Chapter 1 starting with Section 1.2, including the Limits Worksheet
  • All of Chapter 2 and the Derivatives Worksheet
  • The first two sections of Chapter 3

Of course, the material in calculus is cumulative, so exam questions will also require you to have mastery of the material from the earlier part of the course.

// How can you prepare for it?

Once again, study early and often, and don’t fall behind. To review, figure out what you need to know from each section and then study what you know the least, instead of just practicing things you are already comfortable with. Form study groups and work in the SMLC and with other students outside of class. Use your Notebook wisely.
