Chapter 17. Practice Exam 1

17. Practice Exam 1

You've now reached that point where it is time to put all the knowledge you've learned to the test. This is the first of two practice exams (additional exams and study content can be found on the accompanying CD-ROM) that will test you on a wide variety of the topics covered in this book. We suggest that you write your answers on a separate sheet of paper so that you can quickly compare them to the answers, which are listed in Chapter 18. This will also make it easier to go back and work through the exam again without having slightly faded pencil marks reminding you of what you chose last time. We also recommend that you work through all the questions in this exam, review the areas where you may be weak, and then take the second exam in Chapter 19. Make sure you note carefully the areas where you may need to study further. Avoid the temptation to simply repeat the exam a couple of times, memorizing the answers to these questions. Repeat the exams enough and you'll eventually get 100%, but that won't help you nearly as much as properly reviewing the material and scoring 90%+ on the second (or maybe even the first) time through. After you've worked through these practice exams a couple of times, you'll be ready to move on to the test exams available on the accompanying CD-ROM.

Have fun and good luck!
