1st Quarter Reviewer S.Y. 2011-2012

Taking exams can be a time for stress and anxiety if you have not studied during the quarter; you will find yourself cramming for each test and studying late into the night. With a little time management, you not only minimize stress at exam time, but maximize productivity and results!

... And with this, I have prepared a reviewer for all you Chemistry Pals out there! All you have to do is take this mock test within a time limit. Get into the exam mode by clearing your work desk of everything except your paper and pen.
