Tourette Syndrome Awareness Quiz

 Tourette Syndrome Awareness Quiz

Instructions for Students or Visitors: Try answering the questions first before you look at the answer sheet on my website (posted separately). This quiz is to help you learn and challenge myths about Tourette Syndrome. It’s not a test or diagnosis. Have fun and see what you know! Feel free to check this website or research other refences. Remember to study, revise, and use less refences as it gets closer to your real exams as they may not allow you to use them on the day. Keep studying and practising if and when you can in the meantime, is my advice.
