Final Exam
Dear Students,
Study for the chemistry exam it counts for 15% of your final grade. The chemistry final
is a comprehensive final including material from the first term. As you know what you
learned in term one has been applied throughout term two. The chapters that you need to
review in full are 1-11. The following chapters: 12, 14, 17, 18, 22, 24, 25, &27, we
partially covered and you will need to study the learning objectives listed on the attached
review sheet.
To prepare for your final exam study all learning objectives (See attached list). Review
these objectives by referring to chapter tests, quizzes, notes, homework packets, textbook,
and web-links. Make a crib sheet on the periodic table given to you for the final exam.
Organize your periodic table anyway you choose but make sure you include all the
learning objectives on the periodic table. The time you spend organizing the learning
objectives onto your crib sheet will be time well spent. You will increase your
retention of the material for the exam. You must make your own crib sheet and not make
a copy of someone else’s crib sheet. The making of the crib sheet is an excellent study
tool and that tool should be used to study for the final exam.
I have put together a list of review questions from your textbook that covers material on
the final exam. By completing this assignment and making a periodic table crib sheet
you will enhance your final exam grade. The final consists of approximately 100
multiple-choice questions and you will have 90 minutes to complete the final. No
additional time will be granted. The questions on the final exam come from material on
previous tests, quizzes, and labs. You can do great on this final if you study. Studying for
a final exam takes several hours for several evenings. One does not prepare for the
chemistry final by glancing over one’s notes the night before the exam it takes hours of
preparation.
On exam day please turn in your textbook, numerically organized material from binder
(Homework, Quizzes, Tests, and Labs), final exam periodic table, and the final exam
review. You must turn in the contents of your binder or you will earn a zero on the exam.
All materials that I produced must be returned. You may keep your notes, cribsheets, and
periodic tables but all homework packets, quizzes, tests, labs, etc. must be returned.
On exam day you will need a scientific calculator and a pencil.
While studying for this exam you will notice that the material covered in term one has
been used throughout term two. You need a firm understanding of earlier material to be
successful on the later chapters. Go back to chapter one and begin studying for your final
and then continue through the chapters all the way up to current material; by doing this
you will build a strong foundation of chemistry knowledge and have great success on the
final exam.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Zarley
