Semester One Exam Regular Chemistry
Semester One Exam
Semester one exams begin on Friday, December 16th-Tuesday, December 20th, check with your teacher for the date of your final.
Review all of the learning objectives listed below. The learning objectives come from chapters 1-6, 12, 15, and 24. Make a crib sheet containing the semester one learning objectives; study the objectives enough that you can recall them from memorization. Solve a sampling of practice problems for each learning objective using homework packets, labs, quizzes, tests, chapter reviews, and web-links. In order to become a great problem solver you need to solve problems! The exam consists of approximately 125 multiple-choice questions and you will have 90 minutes to complete the exam. Throughout the term have you been making corrections to all assignments (homework packets, quizzes, tests,labs)? I certainly hope so because all of that material will be on the final exam. You need to put copious amounts of time into studying for the chemistry exam. The final exam counts for 15% of your term grade. All material covered previous to exam day will be on the exam. Complete the review worksheets before exam day. Your exam crib sheet, exam review packet, and binder, will be collected on the day of the exam.
The binder needs to be organized per syllabus directives. You will earn binder points only if the assignments are corrected and organized in chronological order as directed in the syllabus. Making corrections to assignments and organizing your binder will aid you in preparing for the final exam. The final exam questions are generated from assignments in your binder.
We may not cover all of learning objectives listed below prior to the exam. If it's not covered before exam day you will not be tested on it. Review the objectives we covered in depth.
