Further information

• The questions on the Quiz will be of varying levels of difficulty. Use your time wisely. Please review the
material carefully and make sure you understand all the concepts.

• Quiz will consist of 20 questions. You will be able to go back to previous questions at any time
during the assessment.

Quiz Tips
• Review each concept thoroughly and solve the practice questions without looking at the solution. This
gives you a better idea about your preparedness and common mistakes you may be making.

• Prepare a reference sheet while reviewing the material for the quiz. Reference sheet could be a 1–2-
page concise summary of the important/quiz relevant material from the course for quick reference. This
may include formulae, important rules etc. With timed quizzes, having to look through the material to
solve a problem eats up from the critical time to work on the problems. A reference sheet is much
faster to refer to during the quiz than looking through the book and other lecture material.

• Key to performing well on the open book assessments is to have a very good understanding of all the
concepts and not really needing to open the books during the assessment. Prepare for the open book
quiz as you would for a closed book quiz with some reference sheet help.



Good Luck!
