2012 Final Exam Study Guide
Functions, Statistics, and Trigonometry (FST)
The final exam for FST will be given on Monday, June 4. You will be allowed
to use one notecard. You may write anything you want on the front and back
of the card. Your textbook is due at the completion of the exam. The
number will be checked to match the one issued to you at the beginning of the
year. The cost of a replacement textbook is approximately $69.00.
The final exam is 50 questions. Each question is worth 5 points for a total of
250 points. Your grade will count as 1/7th of your final grade for the year.
