Final Exam
[edit]Here you are! This exam will help show me that you are all ready to take on Wikipedia by yourself. While some adopters like to be more secretive about the final, I prefer to give it to you just like all the other tests you had so far. In the real world of Wikipedia, you have the opportunity to look things up, so I think it's best that you have the opportunity to do that here as well. The best of luck!
