Two Minute Drill #8

Practice Code Look Up

Directions

Left click on the presentation ICON located at the bottom of the slide directory to the left of the this slide.

Each slide will transition to the correct answer automatically in 2:00 minutes or less. The correct answer will transition in 10 seconds.

Do not worry about writing down the correct answer for now. You will have the opportunity to do that at the end of the two minute drill exercise.

Good luck

Further More

Remember do not worry about writing down the right answer for now. When you reach the end all of the slides will be repeated without the timer so you can take your time to find the ones you missed and write down the correct answers then.

Concentrate on finding the answers using the targeting method and then worry about the correct answers after you reach the slide that says the end.

All of the questions now will be multiple choice. Click on the slide to proceed.
