D IRECTIONS Left click on the presentation ICON located at the bottom of the slide directory to the left of the this slide. Each slide will transition to the correct answer automatically in 2:00 minutes. The correct answer will transition in 5 seconds. Do not worry about writing down the correct answer for now. You will have the opportunity to do that at the end of the two minute drill Good luck Copyright 2005 Ted "Smitty" Smith

F URTHER M ORE You have seen all of these questions before. This time the slides will transition at different rates of speed. Remember do not worry about writing down the right answer for now. When you reach the end all of the slides will be repeated without the timer so you can take your time to find the ones you missed and write down the correct answers then. We have also added several multiple choice questions to prepare you for the actual exam. The next three two- minute drills you will be doing will have only multiple choice questions and will be weighted similarly to the actual tests you will be taking. Click on the slide to proceed.
