Semester 2 Midterm Review

Some things to remember when studying for the midterm:
This midterm is designed to be taken during one class period and is considered a normal test grade as a
percentage out of 100 points.
1. This midterm will be both multiple choice and short answer. In addition there will be a calculator
section and a non-calculator section.
2. In addition to these example problems, you should also review all previous tests, quizzes, and winks.
3. This midterm will cover the topics in Unit 3 Part C: Analytic Trig and Unit 4: Sequences, Series, and
Probability
Learning Targets covered through March 6, 2013
These are all of the LTs that have appeared in Unit 3 Part C and Unit 4. They are all fair game, though it would be
impossible for all LTs to appear on the midterm. I would recommend using this as a checklist of skills to help you
identify the topics you need help on, and the topics in which you are confident.
