If you want to take a practice quiz before the Unit 1 Exam, I left the quiz open for you to take.

 

1) Go to socrative.com

2) Enter "CRISTINA1524" as the classroom

 

Btw, I had to restart it because the version we were taking in class was the "teacher-led' version, which means you wouldn't be able to go ahead on your own. There are 5 questions from every chapter we studied, in the order that we studied them (Ch. 19,18, 1, and 20). These were the most missed questions, so reviewing them will help you! 

 

ALSO: Quiz Corrections!

Taking the time to go over what you missed for your Chapter 1 and 20 quizzes will help you review! Attached are the quizzes. The answers are at the end of each one.

 

Good luck! :)
