I haven't quite figured out the method to the madness yet but our first exam covered 4 chapters, 2nd exam covered 4 chapters, 3rd exam covered 2 chapters and the next one will be 2 also.
This is in Fundamentals so the first 2 exams were over very basic stuff, now the more difficult chapters are approaching.
How many chapters are you being tested on Stephany? I know that you are taking several classes this semester.

We have our first fundamentals test on the 23rd---along with our dosage test. This test is going to cover a whopping 8 chapters.
I'm ready for the math test, but I'm not yet ready for the lecture test.
Hey---I have a question for all of you. Are all your tests grouped together, or are they spread out? All of ours are grouped into the same week (or pretty close). Just curious.
I hope everyone has a great week in class.

I have a test every week, it's not so bad, I don't have a big load like some people. I know that some instructors try to space the tests out and not have them on the same day, to help the students out.
You have a GREAT week too ! :)

Our program doesn't test based on "chapters" but on subject matter. One area could cover information scattered through different chapters of different books and other readings such as nursing journals, videos etc.
I can tell you that one test will cover hundreds and hundreds of pages just in the texts. I had a 3 inch full notebook of extra stuff to study copied from the library where they keep all our required readings.
Which is probably why the test scores for our first test were so low...
