SBI 3U
Ms. Girvan
Exam Review 2009-10
Your exam will be composed of types of questions that fit under the four assessment and evaluation categories: knowledge/understanding, communication, inquiry, and making connections. Practice each kind of question in your review.
There is a chapter review at the end of each chapter, and an unit review at the end of each unit – make use of these questions to see how well you understand the material. The chapter expectations, the section the information is found in, and the key words are also listed at the end of each chapter.
The exam covers material from the entire year. Any assigned work is fair game for the exam.
Good luck and don’t be afraid to ask for extra help!!
