Exam 2

RESULTS

Chem 108 Exam 2: Practice Questions These questions are a limited sampling of types of questions that you can anticipate on Exam 2. The majority of exam questions will be drawn from Webassign and i-clicker topics since Exam 1, including those topics not covered on Exam 1. Reviewing those materials will be the best preparation for Exam 2.

As in Exam 1, Exam 2 is comprised of 20 multiple choice questions (4pts each), 10 True/False questions (2pts each) and ~5-6 problems of various types: matching, fill-in, and applications of mathematical calculations (~4-6 pts each). The total possible exam points will be ~130 raw points, which will be normalized to 100%.
