Below are a list of topics and concepts you should be familiar with. Your exam will touch on content from the first semester (ch. 1-5) and cover mostly content from the second semester (ch. 6-10).
Study Tips:
1)Study all note sheets
2)Complete the Final Exam review packet.
3)Look over old test/quizzes (re-due questions that were wrong)
4)Complete “Extra Review” problems in the back of the book, starting at pg. 896
5)Complete online review
6) Go to Preparing with Peers.
Go to
(Classzone.com) and select state and book. Then go to e-workbook and go to selected sections for review.There are 15examples for each section. It’s interactive and will also give you the correct answers.
