ACC – AMIS 525 -Questions for Exam 3

AMIS 525
Sample Questions for Exam 3
This set of 13 questions, taken from prior examinations, covers some topics inChapters 9, 15, 16, 21, 22, and 23.
The purpose of sample questions is to acquaint you with the style andsubstance of typical exam questions over this material.The exam will consist of “multiple choice” type questions, long problems andshort problems. Both calculation type questions and concept type questions,without computations required, will be used.
Please be aware that:
1. sample questions are only one of many resources available to prepare for testingevents – reading textbook chapters and working through chapter examples, studyingthe end-of-chapter review problem and accompanying solution, and reviewing assignedhomework items and the published solutions may be more powerful methods toincrease your understanding of the topics covered in the course.
2. the exam questions used this quarter will be similar but different from these examplequestions – understanding the main concepts in each chapter is critical to success on thetesting events; remembering a sample question may be of some help but the format of aquestion on the same topic often differs rendering memory a distant second choice tounderstanding.
