In studying for the final, I have several suggestions:
1. You should look up each of these topics in your book to learn definitions
and other vital information.
2. Take a special area of your notebook and write this information into a study
journal.
3. Study the chapter tests we have taken during the school year to find questions
about these topics.
4. Take the individual Practice
Tests on the chapters listed. Look for the questions on these topics.
5. Play the Review Games
for each chapter to help you learn vocabulary.
6. I have created a Final
Examination Practice Test. I highly recommend this (many times)!!!
