PRETEST FOR LESSON 1
I. COMMENTS :
This pretest is designed to help you identify the topics (if any)
you need to review/study before going on to Lesson 2 of this
subcourse.
You alone will know how you performed on the pretest. Your
pretest results will not affect your score on the final examination
for the subcourse.
Do your best. How well you perform on the pretest will
determine how much of Lesson 1 you will need to study/review
before you go on to Lesson 2.

INSTRUCTIONS : Please read and follow these instructions as closely as
possible. The pay-off to you will be the wise use of your time.
STEP 1 : Carefully read the instructions for the pretest.
STEP 2 : Complete the 50-item pretest. Carefully read each
item and write your answer in the space provided.
Take as long as you need to complete the pretest.
STEP 3 : Review your work. Be sure you wrote the correct
answers.
STEP 4 : Check your responses against the solutions following
the pretest. Mark each of your responses as correct
