Notes on the upcoming reading exam

A few questions have come in about the reading exam next week and I wanted to send a few details.

The exam will include 15-20 multiple choice questions and an essay question. The exam will cover chapters 1-15 of Founders at Work and all of Crossing the Chasm. Finally, the exam will be closed book/note.

Let me know if you have any questions.
