Module 10: Brain and Neurotransmitters

Pre-Test

1
 Completed the Pre-Test.

The purpose of the pretest is to see how much you know about a topic from the start.  The results will help you to determine where to focus your energy in studying.

The test is not graded.  You will never be “penalized” even if you get nothing correct. If desired (and you want to reveal the correct answers), you can repeat the pre-test as many times as you wish.

I repeat for the perfectionists: This is a learning tool only; no grading!
