Quarter 1 Exam

This is your first quarter exam. It is intended to be a closed book test. Try to take it all at one sitting. We suggest you give yourself two hours to complete it, not including the essay question. When you have finished, you will know for yourself what areas of the program you need to go back and review, and which you may need to spend more time on in the future.

In preparation for this exam, we suggest you review all of the Notes on Practice and the Theory and Philosophy text from the first quarter. Also carefully review the answers to your study questions from the entire first quarter, taking some extra time to review the anatomy and physiology questions, terms, and definitions.

This exam will allow you to assess your own progress, use it as a learning tool.
