1.     Login to Angel (http://cms.psu.edu) (You login to Angel using your PSU access account and password.)

2.     In your profile (initial page in Angel) select the course Chem 110 FA 08 (This may be slightly different depending on your section and instructor.)

3.    On the Lessons Tab you will find a folder labeled Basic Skills. after selecting the folder, links to each of the Skill Check Tests are listed. Select the link for the test you want to take. Then select EXAM (at the bottom of the page) to take the exam. You will leave Angel when you do this (be sure to select OK) and enter the testing system.

4. NOTE: whenever you select EXAM: this will count as a "request" for a test. You are allowed 8 requests per 24 hour period per exam.

5. Each time you request a test a different set of questions will be generated. Select your answers with the mouse from the choices given or enter an answer using the correct number of significant figures. Be sure to read and follow directions.  

6.     If you need a periodic table, select the link given after: Check the periodic table: a separate window with a Periodic Table will be given so you can toggle between screens. The magnified version of the table (that is slightly larger than the page) is clearer than the initial version that appears.

NOTE: DO NOT use the FORWARD or BACK keys on the browser, rather use the PREVIOUS or NEXT buttons given at the bottom of each question. Using PREVIOUS or NEXT allows you to go back and forth through the test to check or change your answers. If you use the BACK or FORWARD keys, your previous answers may be erased. Other strange things might happen… Sometimes the PREVIOUS and NEXT do not appear at the bottom, or you might be returned to the beginning of the test or to the test selection menu.

 7. After answering the questions, when you are comfortable with your answers, submit the test by selecting this option after the last question on the test. Once you have done this, your score will be recorded and sent to University Testing Services (UTS). You can no longer make changes or re take that particular test. (However you can take another test in the same category if you like.)

 8. Once you have submitted the test, you will be given your overall score and feedback on the questions.

 9. To take another test, select that option at the TOP of the feedback page. You will be returned to the Angel login page. Follow the procedure from step one to take another test.

Please report any problems you encounter to your Chem 110 instructor or to Dr. Bojan (mjb@chem.psu.edu).
