General Rules

• You are allowed one (and only one) 3"-by-5" note card with anything you wish written on both sides for use during the exam.
• No other notes or books are allowed at the exam.
• You must have your graphing calculator with you, with angular measure set to radian mode.

Differences between an in-class skills test and an exam

• Exam problems will not necessarily be just like a homework problem or an example done in class. We will expect you to be able to apply what you have learned about derivatives and demonstrate that you understand the concepts.
• Because we are asking you to think on an exam, you will have more time than the 50-minute class period. You will have one hour and 55 minutes.
• An exam will require you to explain your answers carefully and show your work even more than a skills test.
