· ALSO LOOK AT YOUR FIRST EXAM, TO SEE WHAT AREAS YOU MAY NEED TO WORK ON FOR THIS EXAM.

· IT IS A CUMULATIVE EXAM, BUT WITH 2/3^rd OF THE EXAM FOCUSING ON THE UNTESTED PORTION OF THE CLASS.

· Leave time to complete all work, especially the essay.

· Items that have been discussed multiple times have greater importance. Learn them.

· The Bold Items or vocabulary terms at the end of each chapter are good to know.

· Try to find a theme that links multiple classes together...that is how I will create an essay question.
