***This test will be worth 50 points. Test questions will be developed from your lecture notes,
vocabulary book, and other graded-work/handouts found within your Interactive Notebook. This is
NOT an open note test. Question format will be: 43 multiple-choice questions, 7 true/false questions,
and 1 data analysis (short-answer) question. You are encouraged to attend one of the two after school
study sessions (9/24 or 9/25). Your notebook will be collected and graded on the day of the test. Be
sure that all In Tickets, Out Tickets, Lecture Outlines, and Vocabulary assignments are complete.
Study hard and good luck!
