Short PD Pretest

Section 0.6 Short PD Pretest

Please try the following short pretest. We don’t expect you to know the answers to these questions at all yet! So don’t worry about it if you don’t know the answers. It is fine to pick the “I don’t know” answer option. You will take the same test at the end of the PD and see the answers after that. We hope that everyone will see a big improvement!
