Pretest Information

The following pretests are intended to provide you with a quick and crude assessment of your existing knowledge of two topics included in this lesson. If you do well on these pretests, that indicates that you are already familiar with these particular topics and may want to skip those portions of the lesson. If you miss just a few questions you should study at least those aspects of the topics. Although there are no absolute cut-off scores that distinguish between sufficient and insufficient prior knowledge and you should use your own best judgement to evaluate your scores, there are some guidelines below to help you.

Evaluating Pretest Results

As mentioned before, there are no firm cutoff scores for "passing" or "failing" these pretests. However, consider these recommendations:

If you scored 100%, skip the corresponding section of the lesson or look it over to see if there might be an additional idea or two for you.

If you scored 80% to 90%, look at your work to see if you made a simple error. If so, make note of it and proceed as if you scored 100. If your error indicates that you don't understand a particular aspect of the topic, work on that particular aspect of the topic in the course material.

If you scored 60% to 70%, work through all of the course materials on that topic paying attention to the aspects that you missed.

If you scored 50% or below, work through all of the course materials on that topic and plan to spend extra time working on these topics.
