Study Notes

Test Taking

Students are required to take tests.
Tests are perceived as punitive.
Anxiety increases and performance decreases when tests are viewed negatively.

Example of Inverse Proportion

Inverse proportion is used in dilution problems.
If 120mL of 10% stock solution is diluted to 240mL, the final concentration is 5%.
The final concentration decreases as the volume increases.
Direct proportion can lead to incorrect answers if the pharmacist does not estimate beforehand.
