No reason to show up to class save for quizzes/tests. Slides glossed over reuired material, requiring independent study outside of the (non-santa fe endorsed) materials. The entire class made me wonder why we had her as an instructor; she was very disorganized and lectures glossed over material. Friendliness alone doesn't make for a good teacher.
Mrs. Beck is by far the best professor I have had at Santa Fe. If you allow her to teach you, you will pass for sure and might end up getting a better grade than you thought you could. She is willing to help you at all times and never makes you feel like questions are bothering her or that you are somehow unintelligent because you don't get it.
Class was good just beware that she doesn't go over everything in depth.
Beck is very nice as a person, but not a great professor. She goes through lectures so fast and doesn't explain a whole lot. Most people leave class confused and not having learned anything. She is open to questions but when you ask too many she seems to get frustrated. Be prepared to teach yourself since her office hours are an hour before class.
She is very nice but lectures for 75 minute class by reading slides on powerpoint that she posts online. The small amount of questions she gives in class (maybe 5 a class period) are nothing like quizzes and exams. You really have to teach yourself in order to succeed, even then there is no emphasis on certain material, so tests are a mystery.
Class Lecture glosses over highlights of chapter material. VERY FAST PACED. Plan on using Office Hours to address your weak points. Good professor, caring and helpful. BUT so much material to cover, she does not go very in depth during class. You have to put in the effort to email or attend office hours if your having troubles.
I managed to get an A in this class on my own. Her lectures pure PowerPoint slides, and she gets annoyed if you have questions in lab. Her office hours are during the hour before class, which puts those of us who cant come in a bind since she refuses to meet outside of them. She's inaccessible and rude, and you have to teach yourself to succeed.
Very nice woman & she cares about chemistry but if you don't already know a lot don't take her. She has quizzes every week sometimes more than one, sends emails about what they are but they're completely different from what we learned in class. Lots of hw & she goes over everything too quick. Labs are good bc if you do it you get 100 automatically
The only reason to show up is for labs and quizzes. Her lectures are her reading powerpoints and she is condescending when asking for guidance. She is combative in emails, and I was marked down on my lab for "copying my lab partner's work," which was funny considering my lab partner had dropped the class. I got a B, but it wasnt because of Prof. B.
Professor Beck is always available to meet before class or if you make an appointment. Her lectures aren't too in-depth, but there are way too many topics for that. She gives us the tools and meets you more than half the way if you are willing to work a bit. My guess is that the people complaining about her want to be spoon fed.....
Class is spent with her reading slides and answering questions from students that go to her office hours. Dont regularly go to her office hours? Then she will skip over you and tell you to go to her office hours, even if you have class or a job during that time. No feedback on labs, quizzes, ect. Youre on your own for this class. Find someone else
Go to class, be prepared, and turn in all of your homework on time and you'll be fine. Prof Beck is helpful and I found her very accessible, either before class or through email. She's an easy grader on labs and, if you pay attention, she tells you exactly what's going to be on quizzes and exams! No surprises. Highly recommend!
Very caring and helpful! Can't be a slacker!
I was one of the lucky few to get an A from her this semester. Class is just her going through the motions and taking breaks to talk about her kids. Lab is her playing on her phone while everyone works. She's completely disconnected from the actual classwork, and you WILL need to rely on self study to pass. Find someone who cares about teaching.
Professor Beck's lectures and confusing, incoherent, and half-hearted at best. Most days her lectures are rushed through and it seems like she's eager for class to end. Oftentimes, she comes across and rude and demeaning to her students when they are met with confusion. Chemistry is a tough subject, and she arguably makes it worse.
Very caring. Great teacher overall, she is very helpful when you need it. Tough grader but if you work hard she will help you.
She is amazing! Some of these comments are flat out untrue. For any hard subject you need to work harder for and Professor Beck gives you all you need! The other students just need to leave college altogether if they cant appreciate a good teacher! No chem teacher us going to just give you a passing grade for nothing.
Lectures straight from her power point; very boring. Does not "Teach" the material, you are on your own. Ridiculous amount of homework. Class average is 55% on the final. Need an A or B going in to it to pass class. Maybe if you are a Chem whiz before taking the class, you'll be fine. High % dropped class. Horrible first year class and experience.
AWESOME! Teaching method was a great transition as a freshman for me and she was ALWAYS happy to help. Anyone here that gives her a bad review mostly likely did not dedicate enough time to studying. Clicker points count so much! Tests are hard but if you study you can do well. Only wish for more extra credit cause not enough.
Professor Beck is great! test are tough but definitely doable. not enough extra credit but if you do good on the exams you don't have to worry. its hard to get an A but a B isn't too difficult.
I'm glad I had Prof Beck for my Intro Chem class. I think she really prepared me well for Gen Chem. Wish she were teaching that, too!
Awesome professorvery caring and goes the extra mile to make herself available for help. Test are tough (Half m.c.) but she gives exam review sheets. The best way to succeed in this class is try to read before, do homework, office hours & ask questions Remember this is chemistry at college level, the effort you put in will show by your grade.
Prof Beck is the best chemistry teacher I have had thus far. She really and truly cares about her students and the fact that you understand the material. She will never make you feel dumb for asking a question. She is continuously walking around in lab helping out and is a very fair grader. Would take again!
Professor Beck was a great professor. Although she has not that good of ratings, I personally think she was a pretty decent teacher. She does go off into topics a little too in depth, which you absolutely don't need to know about but if you study what is given and prepare yourself for this class you should pass. She is very kind and caring.
Tina was a wonderful professor, especially for the short 6 weeks that the class was. I took this class over the summer and it was very, very difficult but the class overall was fun and had a good vibe. Tina answered any questions asked during and before class.
Tina was a really good professor! She walked around in lab, making sure you understood. She learned everyones name and she always asked students if they understood during her lecture. Would definitely take again if she was teaching Chem 1.
Professor Beck is an amazing professor! She asks if anyone has questions/explains things in depth. She gives lots of handouts, uses PowerPoints, and links to videos to help you. CHM1025 is intro chem but it is no joke, and you have to work hard to pass the class. Show up, do the homework, study the handouts, and ask questions and you will be ok!
Lectures were just her reading PowerPoint, meaning you need to self-teach to succeed. Around 4 hours of homework per day. The average score for tests was around 60%. No grading standard on lab work, and would routinely mark certain students correct while others were marked wrong. Inaccessible outside of class and never responded to emails.
Profesor Beck's actual office hours were different than what was posted in the syllabus and were immediately before class, making them inaccessible for a lot of students. Lectures were pure PowerPoint, and lab time was self-directed with little to no feedback until your work was graded. Self-teaching is mandatory if you want to pass.
Wish she were teaching 2045 next semester! I had her over the summer and she really cared for her students. She walks around during lab and makes sure everyone knows what they are doing. Classes are a combination of powerpoint, videos, problems, and group discussions.
Professor Beck is super helpful IF you put in the work to pass her class. It is a two way street, no doubt this class isnt hard. Her tests are very difficult but prepare you well for the final.
I like Mrs. Beck. We did our homework on ALEK. She goes a little fast. To get an A or B I recommend to have study groups. If you miss class you will get behind and it will hurt you in the long run.
Good at being 1 on 1 with students; lectures can sometimes be a little boring but overall does a good job of getting the information across.
She reads straight from her power points and goes through them fast. Willing to explain more in depth if you ask questions. She does clicker questions and attendance on the clicker so you have to show up to class to get the credit. The first test was easy but they got harder. Doesn't really prepare you for the tests.
Professor Beck's teaching method is to use PowerPoint, and she was inaccessible outside of class. Do not expect any input from her during labs, and expect inconsistent grading on your work. My lab partner would get marked wrong the same answer I'd get right, and vice-versa. She used a different book than what the class bought, and was ill-prepared.
She gives a lot of extra credit. Speak a little fast. But it's okay. International students can understand. It's a good class. You can learn things from her.
Beck is really helpful. She goes pretty fast, but she has to to cover all of the topics that are going to be on our common final. She does stop and ask if students have questions, but some people are too shy to take her up on it. I've just signed up to take her again for chem 1. Highly recommend.
Intro to chemistry was a hard class if you have never seen the material before. Expect multiple choice tests, which may seem better at first, but it also means no partial credit. Right or wrong. Overall, a decent teacher that gives a lot of extra credit.
One of the best professors I've EVER had. She cares so much and she gives the best lectures. She gives more extra credit than you could ever ask for. Lots of class participation to get everyone engaged. I ending up doing well on all her tests and I did really great in her class overall. Labs aren't difficult either. Take her for sure!
Professor Beck is an amazing professor. I personally struggled with chemistry because I don't have a strong background and never took it in high school. I had to work harder than most and still didn't get the results I wanted at times. She gives a lot of chances for extra credit. Without that I may not have gotten a B. Work hard, and DO THE HW!
Great prof, hard class
Overall, a fairly decent class. She is a good person and cares about your success. However, if you don't attend class it will be hard to study for exams because the powerpoints are very confusing out of context. Lectures feel long but can be useful if you can follow her train of thought.
I loved Tina! I think she was a fantastic professor who was caring and knowledgeable. People who gave Professor Beck a poor review simply did not put enough effort into her class. Chemistry is a difficult topic and you have to dedicate time to study! Tina provided SO much extra credit to help boost your grade!
SHE IS THE BEST!! I really enjoyed her class. She teaches through power point. I-clicker is mandatory. it could boost your grade. always available during office hours. test 2 is kind of hard, but as long as you study materials you will be fine. make sure to study her power point to receive good score in the test. highly recommend her!!!!!!!
I have never dreaded a class more than this one. If you are not a genius at chemistry (intro to chem is not enough), find another teacher. She expects you to know everything before hand and rushes through everything. She is always rushing through material so you never learn anything, she is unpleasant to talk to, and is no help. You teach yourself.
Find another teacher. She gets frustrated when you ask questions and will rush you out of lab if you are the last one left so she can go home even though you have 30+ minutes left to complete the lab. She doesn't teach anything but rather skims through powerpoints that aren't even hers. She gives you a few seconds to complete clicker ?'s.
She schedules office hours immediately before class, and ends class prematurely, even with class or lab time left. She seemed more concerned with socializing with young male students and going home to her kids than actually teaching. I simply cannot recommend her in good faith. She puts forth minimal effort, and is not invested at all. Avoid.
I took her in Spring 2019. She is a good professor, and she cares about us. Her lectures are pretty fast, and she has in-class clicker questions. It's a hard class, but she gives some extra credit though it's not easy. Don't hesitate to ask questions because she's willing to give a complete answer. Be sure to put in the necessary work.
Prof Beck has lots of extra credit opportunities, but they aren't easy. They required you to really practice your skills and chem understanding, which I liked. They made me more prepared for her exams, which are kind of tough. You HAVE to go to lecture. She does want you to succeed though, so put in the work and you'll do good.
Ms. Beck is a good professor. Her lectures are engaging, her grading criteria is blunt and she offers a lot of extra credit opportunities via the extra credit quizzes before lab, doing various things to prep for test (Flashcards, go to the library and sign in, etc.). She herself is also a pleasant person which helps in interacting with her.
She is really tough grader , she demands a lot of things , too much work, labs are grade really specific
I took Tina's intro to chem class last semester and really enjoyed my time with her. This semester, however, was significantly harder. She seemed overwhelmed and frantic to finish her lectures. Labs and exams were more difficult, but she gave lots of extra credit opportunities. Super sweet lady. She gives you the tools you need to succeed.
This is one of the few classes I really dreaded at Santa Fe. Beck teaches through powerpoints and is usually VERY rushed and unorganized. She definitely had her favorites. Shes a nice person, just not my first choice as a teacher. Youre graded on test, labs, homework and clickers. If you really work for it you can do well.
ALEKS is a massive part of your grade, more so than is should be in my opinion, so is the use of iClicker. Honestly her lectures are not very helpful and you will have to do most of your learning outside of class through the internet. She does offer extra credit though which you should try and take advantage of as much as possible
Chemistry with Professor Beck has been a pleasure. It was definitely difficult due to the coronavirus, however, she was always there for assistance and designed her class in a way that was preparatory for the final. My best advice is to work to grasp the material. Do not expect to be spoon-fed! Your output will be your input of effort.
I loved her teaching style, she isnt like other chem professors that makes chemistry sounds harder than it already is. She makes it easy to understand topics by teaching you basics, and once you mastered that, you will find yourself doing hard problems very easily. I was so pleased with her. She is kind and helpful!!!
Professor Beck is great at teaching the content. The class itself is very hard, but your best chance at understanding chemistry is taking her class. Compared to the other Chem teachers, professor Beck is the best. Be ready to study A LOT if you want an A. If you only care about passing it should be an easy class. (Studied hard and got a 98)
Nice woman, knows the material, but is very disorganized and without ALEKS I would have been super lost. Not the best explainer. Lots of EC opportunities. I still don't understand what electronegativity is but I got an A.
Professor Beck is the best! She is very clear on what she asks for on tests and her lectures are not boring at all! She really cares about her students and doesnt mind answering questions :)) She is also very accessible outside class and gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, chemistry isnt easy but professor Beck makes it enjoyable!
Prof. Beck is not a terrible professor but she goes extremely fast through the material and I struggled to keep up. I was always lost during lectures. The only way I learned anything was through other students teaching me or Aleks problems.
Professor Beck was rather difficult if you can't keep up. She flies through problems and does not explain very well what she is doing, but if you ask about it and how she got there she really tries to help you any way she can. If you go to office hours she really cares and will help you with anything you need. She gives extra credit to help you!!!!
Though grader, she goes to fast in lectures, and even a little unorganized. She's a nice person but not the best teacher. I personally would not have class again with her.
I little mediocre, the things you do in class and homework are completely different from what you are going to see on the test. Test too heavy and doesn't give good feedback. It's also unconsidered when it comes to problems with assignments
doesn't give good feedback, most of the time if you have questions during office hours she will only tell you to go and watch some videos. Things that appear on the test are completely different from what you see in class and in homework. The exams are 1000 times more difficult than the exercises in class and in online homework. Don' take with her
The exams are extremely difficult. I don't know if it's because is online, but the exams are really hard compared to other professors at Santa Fe. Most of the things in the exam arent even like the exercise in homework. She is a really nice person but I wouldn't take the class with her again.
I found her classes to be pretty unorganized. Most of the things you see in class doesn't appear on the test. The exams are really hard in comparison with other professors. I went through a final of her with many tutors and everybody said that it was too difficult for chem1. I wouldn't take with her again, my GPA went crazy down
heavy tester. Classes didn't make much sense, to be honest, and all of the homework doesn't have anything to do with the exams. The exams are much harder and complex than what do you do in class (that is basically nothing) and what you do in homeworks.
During Covid 19, Professor Beck was a great teacher when it came to chemistry. She risked her health to come to campus so that we could learn one on one and gave us the exact directions to succeed in both her class and the departmental final. Yes, the exams were difficult sometimes but they prepared us very well for the final. She is a great prof.
Her lessons are a little unorganized, and the exams are very hard comparing to homework. Gives little feedback.
Took her class for Fall 2020, went really well! Hybrid course and we had on campus instruction once a week, and labs biweekly. Lectures are fairly solid and I wouldn't say attendance is 100% mandatory, I skipped a couple classes and as long as you read up on the optional supplemental material (which she gives a lot of) you can still pass the exams.
Lectures of professor Beck werent useful. We barely did exercises in class, and when it was time for studying for a test, it was hard to understand or even find exercises to practice. Good feedback in lab, but dont waste your time trying to go to the office hours. Shes really nice but I wouldnt recommend her. Her exams are ridiculously hard.
Heavy tester, doesnt round grades. Things she gives in class dont actually appears on the exams.
shes okay, VERY hard exams! There is a bunch of Aleks due for homework and attendance is mandatory. She also has clicker questions during her lectures that count for a grade. She is strict and a very tough grader on labs. You will have 3 exams and then a final. Study a lot and do all the assigned work and you should pass.
Professor Beck makes her test completely different to what she gives and makes you practice, Also she only gave 3 test and would remove points for anything in her labs. Honestly not a good professor
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! This teacher is the most inconsiderate person I have ever met. She does NOT care about her students, or their grades. Her teaching style is incredibly stupid and useless. She does not prepare you for the final, and the average for her tests the whole semester was a failing grade. DONT DO IT
Avoid this teacher. She doesnt care about students and most of her classes are very unorganized. I had to self teach myself for the tests. I personally would not recommend her at all. Super though grader
If you want to succeed in this class, you need to either already have a solid foundation in chemistry or self-teach. Her lectures are disorganized, and the people saying she ignores students who don't come to her office hours are accurate. She's in a rush to end class, and lab is essentially finishing the work and waiting for her to be ready.
I personally would avoid this teacher if you struggle with Chemistry, she speeds though her lectures and you are not able to keep up. Her tests are very hard and I have had to teach myself all of the Chem homework. ALEKS assignments are not user friendly. She gives extra credit but I feel as we wouldn't need it if we were actually learning ...
I do not recommend professor beck unless you naturally understand chemistry. She was not helpful at all and it was the hardest class ive ever taken. She does not teach, she reads words off a powerpoint very quickly and she calls on everyone in class and makes you feel dumb if you dont know the answer. Just be prepared to work your butt off!
She knows her material really well and made an effort to remember everyones names! I thought she was sweet. She helps students who are willing to put in the work. SO much extra credit available! Take advantage of it, and attend class (she will call on you). I had to often seek tutoring and go to office hours to complete and understand assignments.
I loved having Tina! she's very kind, and explains chemistry pretty well. The workload is pretty intense, and she speeds through lectures a LOT. You're probably going to have to study and take notes outside of class if you want to get a good grade, especially if you're not familiar with chem, or just take a bit longer to understand things
Mrs. Beck is great person! That being said , the class was incredibly difficult for being an intro chem class. Class average test grades were almost always D's or F's. In my opinion, the worst thing about this class is that she cold calls on you in class and makes you feel really stupid if you're wrong. That alone was enough to deter me from going.
Highly don't recommend for Intro Chem. She is quick to make you feel dumb when you do not understand something. Class usually consists of her reading power points and calling on you for answers and sometimes having to write on the whiteboard. Her tests are extremely hard and there is no curve or forgiveness. I think the class average was a D- .
CHM1025 is a demanding class, so I think most of the reviews here are directed more toward the difficulty of the class. Otherwise, I think Prof. Beck was fantastic. While she can be strict and doesn't like repeating herself, she is caring and funny. Take her up on office hours and extra credit, pay attention, and read the textbook--it will pay off!
I took professor beck for intro to Chem and she was good but tough with the class. However, I took her again for Chem 1 and she was even more challenging than the first time, heavily used homework and quizzes. If you are not a good test taker DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS
Really nice teacher and wants students to succeed! Taking her again next semester
Tina Beck provided us with many materials, and then would test us on something completely different. A majority of her tests have a class average of around 50%. She is not accommodating if you make a small mistake, there is no forgiveness just a mark on your grade. I put so much into this class and reaped no benefits. Beware.
Professor Beck is the type of professor who wants to look like they give you a lot of opportunities to improve your grade but it's not true. I was struggling with the class, and she did not even try to understand me or help me get a better grade. She didn't even take the time to tell me how could I study for the final even though I asked her.
Wonderful! She is accessible and great at communicating quick. Not too much assigned hw. Posts lots of resources and slides. Sometimes lectures are unclear, but she asks for questions and is great at explaining. She calls people randomly from name jar (scary). Will help though it if you're stuck. Gives extra credit! Writes exams and a kind person.
Prof. Beck is a wonderful professor IMO. Her lectures are a bit unclear to me so I find myself utilizing office hours virtually every week. She is extremely nice and wants her students to succeed. She is super gracious in her grading but strict enough where you need to pay attention and be on top on the work or you will be left in the dust.
She makes this class so hard and stressful for no reason. If you arent good at chemistry already stay way.
The course material is not easy, unless you have a good Chem background. Prof Beck is very
She's a good person, but a bad teacher. If you are good at chem and like to teach yourself she's great for you, otherwise, stay away. The average for exams is around 60... her lectures make me feel like I'm sitting in a Chinese language class :). Bunch of Aleks homework and assignments due before class.
CHM 1025 you can if you have to ... CHM 2045 JUST DONT
Took Mrs.Beck for CHM 1025,currently 2045,and soon to be 2046. In 1025 she was a really good prof. Aleks homework was tough and probably due every week-2weeks.3 exams that are tough+1 easy lab exam. She offers TONS of ways to get your grade up.Lectures can be intense but if you go to office hours she helps a lot. She provides videos that help a lot
I took Tina for 1025 and 2045 and she is one of the sweetest professors I have ever taken. Sometimes topics and chem can seem a little intimidating at first, but if you put in a little extra work reading the textbook she can really help you learn. Her exams are much harder than the final official ACS exam, so it's a nice surprise at the end!
do not take her! not helpful at all and clearly favors certain students over others. when i asked why i missed points on an assignment, she told me to figure it out myself. blamed class for low test average. lectures are very quick and hard to follow, so much outside time is spent studying. class participation depends on graded iclicker questions.
goes too quick through lectures. lots of outside studying and self-teaching of concepts. favors certain students. class average on exams is a d. offers test retakes because class average is low. doesn't do much practice in class. doesn't offer much clarity when i ask questions on what i did wrong. attendance and participation based on clicker grade
She's really nice, but as a teacher she's not the greatest. You need to do a lot of self-studying. She goes through concepts quickly and exams are tough. Class average in exams 1-4 is between 55%-75%. Mandatory clicker questions for attendance and pulls popsicle sticks with names for participation.
she's really nice. took her for 1025 and 2045 and she always came to class with a smile on her face. i will say, though, that the way she grades lab reports is a little annoying, but the class is definitely possible and not difficult to get an A in, 1025 more than 2045 of course. she also offers test retakes where u only redo the Qs you got wrong
if you want to keep your will to live then you'll take ANY other professor for intro to chem. all the other ones give study guides/exam prep, this one gives none! it's the day before our final and i still have 15 ungraded assignments (all which were turned in on time months ago). exam average is pretty low, and she picks favorites. save yourself!!!
beware. grades everything last minute. our class average on the final didn't even get to 60%. doesn't give study guides. doesn't teach concepts well. expects too much from too little information/help. do yourself a favor and choose anyone else.
I found myself hoping to get rammed by a car so I didn't have to deal with this class.
Don't be fooled by the reviews, Chemistry is not an easy subject, and people end up taking on the professor.... She is a great teacher and such a good human being who really cares about her students and go the extra mile to help them. I recommend her to anyone willing to put an effort, she's had such a positive impact in my education and my life.
Attendance matters alot and if your 2 mins late to class you lose out on attendance points. She is very straaight forward and cares about what she is doing. She is easy to follow along with but you will have to review material on your own and she has alot of homework.
Tina's class is no easy feat, but she's truly invested in helping students succeed. With some prep using unstuck ai and dedication, you can get through this demanding course. Her kindness and extra credit make the journey worthwhile.
If you put the work in for this class you'll pass. She's a good teacher but sometimes makes it more difficult than it has to be. Lectures are fast paced, encourages questions, but can be condescending if you are slower to understand. Exams are difficult and follow closely after learning a topic but she's a good person and you can tell she cares.
When I took this CHM1025, I was also in Physics 1 and Calculus 2, both of which I received an A. This professor lacks the ability to properly structure a Canvas page, confusing the entire class, leading to incomplete assignments, heavily affecting your grade.
Professor Beck's class was hard but if you show up to every lecture and pay attention, you can get an A. Make sure to prioritize studying from her topics list for each unit test, and earning full marks on your participation grade. I thoroughly enjoyed her class even though sometimes I felt like giving up, just stick with it and don't skip lectures!
as a person she is ok, BUT Her lectures not helpful at all, but there were a few people who would always get her questions right but most of the class didn't understand what she was saying. all she do is talk all class and no one comprehends what she is saying. Not much extra credit, NOT leninant for late work, TEST ARE EXTREMELY HARD.
She is bad at maintaining a canvas page. She is not organized at all and her lectures and test were everywhere. Also made us type answers into canvas and gives no extra credit. She's a nice person but isn't clear about what she's teaching.
makes it clear at the start what she expects overall and it makes sense. As long as you attend her lecture times, along with aleks, it is astraightforward class. know that Gen chems are weed out classes but she makes it as easy and simplify topics. Submit everything on time, pay attention in class, like any other stem class and you should be okay.
Be ready for some extremely unrealistic expectations. Lots of homework and extensive lab preparation, and post-lab reports. She is a nice lady, but you are going to sit in very long lectures and have an extremely hard time staying caught up with notes. Tests are very difficult although she will offer the occasional retakes. Good luck!
I honestly don't understand all of the bad reviews. Professor Beck's class has always been one of my favorites. I took her class for both CHM1025 and CHM2045 and loved both! Yes the class is hard, and yes you have to pay attention during lectures, but if you do both of these things and study the topic lists for each test you can get an A easy.
