Study Tips!
 Go through the overview sheet carefully to make sure you have all the
lessons/notes/homework completed.
 To make your resource (cheat) sheet, go through each section covered in this
unit and write down any useful reminders or helpful hints.
 Quiz yourself on any diagrams/charts by covering the words and testing your
knowledge.
 Go through the practice review questions (in textbook, listed on back) and all
returned quizzes to test yourself. Have a friend quiz you!
 If any topics/diagrams aren’t clear, see your teacher before/after school for
extra help BEFORE the day of your test.
