final revieW exaM
Now that you have reviewed each lesson and completed the chapter
review questions, where provided, you may test your overall knowledge
of the material contained in Volume 1 and Volume 2 of this handbook
by completing this final review exam. Although most of the questions
that follow can be answered by referring to the topics covered in Volume
2, keep in mind that licensure exams at the higher levels also require
knowledge gained at the lower levels of licensure; that is, each higher
level exam is comprehensive, covering materials that were also pre-
sented in lower level exams.
For the questions you have difficulty answering or that you answer
incorrectly, review the pertinent sections containing the applicable sub-
ject matter. A thorough understanding of all of the material presented in
Volume 1 and Volume 2 of the handbook should prepare you for the Class
III/II or Grade II/III licensing examinations and set the stage for success-
ful completion of the Class I or Grade III/IV examinations. Operators pre-
paring for the Class I or Grade III/IV licensing exams should be familiar
with the topics covered in Volume 3.
Unlike the actual state licensure examinations, which contain an
assortment of different types of questions (e.g., multiple choice, true or
false, essay, completion questions), the final review exam presented here
requires a written response to each question. The questions have been
formatted in this way because experience has shown that, when study-
ing for an exam (any exam), it is always best to write out the answer for
better retention. Moreover, when studying for an exam, it is best to con-
sider only the correct answer instead of several different choices (e.g.,
multiple choice questions) that could possibly be the correct answer,
which can lead to the test taker selecting the wrong answer on the
licensure exam. Upon completion of the final review exam, check your
answers with those given in Appendix B.
