As you prepare for the module exam, make sure you're using the study tools right on our class resource page! Start by reviewing your guided notes (available in each lesson on the first and last pages or in the "Notes" tab at the top of the lesson window). A great trick is to cover up the main terms or answers and see if you can explain the concepts out loud in your own words.

Next, take the sample quizzes for each lesson without looking at your notes. When you finish, check your answers to see what you've already mastered and exactly which topics need a quick second review before you take your test!
