This review is neither a replica of the exam nor does it contain every concept in the module. It is always best practice to review all lessons and assessments. Resubmitting is a great way to review/learn and improve your grade. There are approximately 32 questions (about 3 are essays) on the regular exam; approximately 42 questions (about 5 are essays) on the honors exam. The number in parenthesis is the lesson. None of the honors lessons are in this review. The answer key is after the review. You will need a calculator and the periodic table of elements.
