This practice test is a general guideline to help you study. It is NOT a definitive list. There are potentially things on here that will not show up on the test, and there are potentially things not on this list that will show up on the test. Material that appeared in Warm Ups, Notes, Homework, Classwork, Labs, Study Materials, etc are all have the potential to appear on the test. Please time yourself! This part of the practice test should take a maximum of 19 minutes to ensure you are going fast enough to finish the actual Test in class!
