Before you print it off, I will say this. This document will be 7 pages long. DO NOT FREAK OUT!!! If you have your tests and vocabulary assignments in your binder, you have all the info you need. Most, if not all of the stuff on the study guide is from previous tests. The questions for each chapter are in order, so use the book too.
Even though it looks long, it will be a piece of cake. The actual midterm test will have all of this info, so start studying now!!! Good luck!
When you copy and paste this to a word document, make sure to add a few spaces between each question. When I pasted it on here, it took the spaces away.
