5) You do NOT need to purchase flash cards; they can easily be created by cutting regular sheets of paper in to smaller sections. 6) All flash cards must be completed in your own hand‐writing. They may not be typed. Once you have completed your flash cards, USE THEM TO STUDY!!!! Just completing the flash cards will not guarantee you a good grade on the test; you actually have to use them as a study aid. In the three weeks leading up to the test there will be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday review sessions at lunch. The first week will cover the first time period so if you feel that you need some review of the content from August and September then it is highly recommended that you bring your lunch and come to the review sessions.
