How to use this test?
 
You can take this test prior to revision to see which chapters require your utmost attention and which chapters are already (partly) understood. 

We, however, also recommend using it for testing your knowledge after revising all the chapters! 

After you've established which chapters need extra attention you can decide to go over the student-paced Lessonups of those particular chapters (see #OO).
