Measurement Test
HONESTLY, I found the measurement test to be quite difficult. The test included dimensional analysis, a bit from Nomenclature, and a lot about significant digits. Remember that with significant digits, multiplication/division and addition/subtraction have different rules, and they can be difficult to follow when there is a large problem concerning the order of operations. Also, with dimensional analysis, be careful when you have a measured amount. I ran into trouble last night because I was rounding when I shouldn't have been on my Last Meal Conversion Project, and when you're using specific amounts, as in a recipe, you can't make things up. Make sure you're careful, and I'm praying for everyone else that says they also struggled with the exam today.

ReplyDeleteI had completely forgotten about the significant digits in the cooking conversions! the test is a lot easier when you split up each part one aft a time. That helped me get through it quicker.

ReplyDeleteI also found the test to be harder than expected. Especially with all the conversion problems. Those took me a really long time and I had to stay a little after class ended to finish the test! I will definitely study harder next time.
