Editors Note:
 After spending time in prayer to the Lord Jesus to help me prepare for the exam so I can help others prepare for the exam, I have written my own sample exam questions from the review slides and textbook  in anticipation of the real exam.

I wanted to share them with you all on this site to help you study if you think it would be helpful. If you do not know what each term in the multiple choice means, I would go over those terms. It will also be helpful to ask yourself what would have made the other choices true if anything. If you answer false for a true-false question, what would make it true.

I do not know if the real exam will be easier than the one I prepared to help others study or if it will be harder. I wrote 75 questions for the six chapters. These questions do not cover all the material in the notes or textbook but are a good way to study the material you do not know the correct answer to!

Remember, our test does need a bit of memorization since that’s the only way we can get the true-false questions right so I would approach the true-false questions that way including the multiple choice. If you don’t know the answer, then look at the choices and try to figure out the answer for the multiple choice questions. Have your notes and textbook ready! I do hope it helps you all to study!  Take this sample exam in test conditions and see how well you will do and where you need to brush up on!

Hopefully, as time permits there will be more sample exams posted with the answer sheet for the sample exams on Thursday night or before.
