ETX 20 Midterm 2 Review – Fall 2023
*What’s different in this version? Kept relevant questions from the last version, increased the number of questions to improve the breath of topics were covered relative to test knowledge demand. **Remember, these are designed to get you to think about the subject matter relevant to what will be tested. Think about it as written, in reverse, and know the details of the subject matter for when other aspects and elements pop up in any 1 of the 50 questions. ***This study guide is broken down by how they appeared in lecture but may appear in random order dependent upon the version of the test. Also, it is close to representative of the # of questions in each section (basically if you multiplied by ~4 that’s how each section is weighted).
