SAMPLE TEST
This is a sample of some of the possible questions for the first test in Photo A in the 5th week. Try it to see how you do. You will find a list of answers at the end of the test to check yourself. For our internet visitors...these questions are based on the Tech Help section readings and the reading under the first 4 weeks assignments plus material we probably covered in class.
