The test is based on the notes and handouts for the Location Unit given in class. All the notes were typed for the most part, so students can just refer to them. Students can also study assignments given in class. There is really no excuse for not being able to prepare, you were given everything you need...
For more review, you can even visit Brainpop... see the Good Websites page. The userid and passwords are there...
