First Semester Final Exam Review
Study Tips
1. Turn off the TV, radio, phone, etc.
2. Study at a well lighted table, desk, etc. Do not lie down to study.
3. Do not cram the material. Study well enough in advance so you are able to go over the material several times before your exams.
4. Study:
➢ This review sheet
➢ Past review sheets
➢ Notes from class
➢ Past tests--available in class, quizzes, worksheets, labs
➢ Material from the book
o Make sure you know all of the bold print and italicized words in each chapter. The same vocabulary words can be found in the vocabulary review at the end of each chapter in the chapter review.
o Go over the questions at the end of the chapters. Check yourself with the answers you’ve already completed.
o Look at the pictures in the chapters. Read the captions and make sure you know the ideas the pictures are trying to get across.
