These tests are fairly comprehensive. They were written and formatted in the style and spirit of Dr. David Walz's lecture tests, but none of the questions were taken directly from actual exams. The students who wrote these documents did so as a study exercise before actually being tested on the material. Each document contains an answer key on the final page.
All chapters and pages mentioned below refer to The Changing Earth, J. Sargeant Reynolds' Geology textbook.
