Question abou BSBA Capstone Midterm

[Merlin]

The practice exam is intended to show how the midterm exam will operate and the kinds of questions you can expect. It doesn't use questions from the same pool as the actual midterm exam. That is why it doesn't reflect the questions from the study guide.

Focus on the study guide, that is your best resource. I ended up with an A on the midterm, and my approach was to go back over the notes I took from each chapter and highlight the ones relevant to each point mentioned in the study guide, and then study the heck out of those. As part of that, I also created two quizlet flashcard sets: one generic midterm study guide (based on the one posabsolute made–I ended up removing some stuff, replacing some stuff, and adding more detail where needed; I also added book page numbers for easier reference) and one that covered core concepts & terms. I used those in conjunction with my highlighted notes to do all of my studying.

My recommendation is to focus on the essay-related study guide questions more than anything. That is where 80% of your final score comes from. When using the study guide, keep the following in mind: for any analysis topic, make sure you understand how to create and interpret that type of analysis, as you may be asked to do so in the essay section. Yeah, there are a lot of different types of analysis, but if you focus on the ones covered in the study guide essay section that isn't too bad.

FYI, the multiple choice questions are tricky. Many of them appear to have more than one right answer, so it's easy to guess wrong. They're only worth 20% of your overall grade so don't spend too much time on that section or you won't have enough time for the four essay questions. I ended up with 100% on the essays and that is what kept me from a lower grade since I ended up guessing wrong on some of the multiple choice questions.
