Our exams will have DIFFERENT questions, but format and material will be similar
Students must bring a scantron form (#882 - any variety) and photo ID to each exam
Use of material such as dictionaries and calculators (including cell phones), etc. is not permitted. Students may ask clarifying questions about the language on the exam but questions regarding course material or terminology will not be answered. Mathematical calculations will either be shown or very straightforward.
