Study Tips

Use the Practice Exam and your old tests to study for Multiple Choice and True/False sections of
the exam.

For the Image Identification section, go through your notes and make a list of all the
terms/concepts/people that you’ve seen pictures of (or that I can find pictures of) this semester.
They are all fair game for the exam.

For the Term Identification section, make a list of terms/concepts/people that can’t be easily
identified visually. They are fair game for the exam.

There will be ONE essay question on the exam and its wording is similar to what you’ve been
exposed to in unit tests and class discussions. A good clue as to what the essay will ask can be
found in the Essay Prep section of the Practice Exam.

DO THE PRACTICE EXAM! It was designed specifically to prepare you for this exam. Ignoring it is
foolish.

DO NOT leave studying for this exam to the night before the exam. Study one unit each day and
then stop.

DO NOT stay up late the night before the exam. It is counter-productive and unnecessary.
