On the day of the midterm:Be on time!
Bring a sharpened #2 pencil!
This packet is NOT the midterm:
This packet does not take the place of all the notes / work we’ve done so far this year over the course of almost 20 weeks . . .
This packet guides you back to your notes / work.
The midterm is primarily testing the SKILLS you’ve learned; therefore, any attempt to memorize content will likely be unhelpful
