· Unit 3 only has the objective part.
·
The objective part consists of 25 questions at 4
points each--but, for each question, fate (or Blackboard) could ask you any 1
of 4 or more questions.
In other words, there are a minimum of 100 questions in the test.
· You have thirty minutes for the objective part of the test..
This study guide tries an approach to help students with the patterns and complexity in Unit 3. The yellow highlights in the chronologies tells you which things are questions in the Unit 3 Objective Exam.
