Practice Tests
==============

Each Midterm Test and Final Exam will have an associated set of unmarked
practice questions, with answers, and a set of marked quizzes based on those
practice questions.

Practice questions are samples only. The actual questions on the Midterms and
Final Exam are usually different. There may be a few new question types on
the tests and exams that don't appear in the practice tests.

> The tests use the semicolon `;` to separate multiple commands on the same
> line, to save space and paper, e.g. three separate commands can be written
> on one line like this (the dollar sign is the optional shell prompt; do not
> type it):
>
>     $ date ; who ; ls
>     $ echo "hi" ; wc /etc/passwd ; rm file
>
> **Do not use semicolons as an interactive human user!** Type each command
> on its own line with the \[Enter\] key.

Brightspace Quizzes
===================

As each practice test (above) is released, Brightspace will have some
Quizzes, worth marks, containing random samples of questions taken from that
practice test.

See [Quizzes and Tests].

> If you want to see *all* the practice question types that could be on the
> test, and only see each question *once*, use the PDF files from this web
> page, not just the online Quizzes.
