You should take this test after you have completed all the Lessons and Assignments in Units 1 & 2. This test is going to cover ALL the lessons you have learned up to this point. Chances are you are going to have to go back and review. All of the correct answers are found within the Lessons and those are the answers I am looking for! If you find an answer DO NOT copy and paste it, write it in your own words. If you copy and paste your answer from somewhere else you will receive a zero on that question. I want to know if you understand the material, not if you know how to search for and copy an answer. You'll answer the questions in the WORD PROCESSING document and submit it at the bottom of the page.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
