not enough. Developing your medical vocabulary requires refining. As you add words to
your medical vocabulary, you must constantly work to use the words correctly. You can
refine and sharpen your medical vocabulary through the correct use of a medical dictionary.
Pretest:
This course on medical terminology has one introductory lesson and three lessons
related to terminology. Before each lesson, there is a pretest which will enable you to
determine your knowledge of medical terminology. You should complete each pretest
before working the lesson. If you correctly answer 90% of the pretest questions, you need
not work the lesson unless you wish to reinforce your knowledge of medical terminology.
The first pretest will test your knowledge of medical stems; the second pretest will test your
knowledge of medical prefixes; and the third pretest will test your knowledge of medical
suffixes.
