It covers material up to and including material posted on Friday Sept. 21 (Conditional Formatting, AND() OR()).

You can use your completed labs and access the Internet during the test. However, be careful -- if you have to look up step-by-step instructions to answer all of the questions you will probably run out of time.

Any assignments from the material on the test that are not submitted by the day of the exam (before midnight) will not be eligible for full credit (though they are still worth something).
