• As with Test 1, the test will contains extra points (e.g., 53 out of 50).
• As with Test 1, the test will include a variety of questions (e.g., TRUE/FALSE, short answer, trace/modify code).

• review online lecture notes (if not mentioned in class, won't be on test)
• review text
• look over chapter exercises, review questions, labs
• reference other sources for examples, different perspectives
