Sample Tests and Solutions

Below are some sample tests from previous years. These are the sorts of questions you are likely to see on quizzes.

If you're using them to study, do the tests before looking at the answers! Psychological research shows that dragging the answer up out of your brain on your own is much harder than recognizing an answer once you see it. On tests, you need to drag the answer up out of your brain!

Another good way to study for the tests is to do the exercises in the slides. Open the slides and search for Exercise.

Solutions for the exercises (up to Methods-I) have been added to the Notes pages in the slides.

You will need to download the latest version of the slides.

Open them using PowerPoint, then use the View tab. Select the Notes Page option or just use the Notes option if it's available. (The Notes option is only available on pages with notes.)


OK, you've done the test(s) you're looking up the answers for, yes?

All the exercises before Methods-I (and their solutions) are available in the PowerPoint presentation Weeks 01 to 04 -- Solutions to Exercises.pptx.
