Redo the Midterm Review Packet. Use the Midterm Review Packet ANSWERS for answers (but it’s only
the answers, not the solutions).
Read over your notes that you have taken from the course, especially from your “long term notes”
Work on review sheets from past units, or the supplemental review sheets you got in class or that are on
the class website.
Work on the IXL review modules for topics you know you are weak on.
The night before the test – Get a good night’s sleep. Don’t stay up late texting, gaming, etc.
The day of the test – Eat a good breakfast before coming in to the test. Bring 2 pens and your calculator.
