MyEconLab.com is the online study guide that accompanies the Miller text. MyEconLab is required, not optional.

There are three exceptions to the distribution of grades given above:
If a student makes an F on the final, (that is, makes less than 55% or 880 points out of 1600 on the final exam), then the student can make no higher than a C in the course. In other words, a student cannot make an A or a B in the course if he makes an F on the final.
If a student makes a D on the final, (that is, makes at least 55% but less than 65% on the final exam), then the student can make no higher than a B in the course. In other words, a student cannot make an A in the course if he makes a D on the final.
If a student makes 94% (1504 points) or above on the final exam, the student will earn an A in the course regardless of his total points.
The first two exceptions are why a Practice Final is being provided to you in this course. It is hoped that this Practice Final will help you better prepare for the final and take away some of the anxiety students often feel when approaching a final exam.
