CHANGE TO THE SS EXAM 12/21/06-12/22/06
Hello, Everyone:
Because of our lengthy discussions the last couple of days, I have made an adjustment to our SS exam calendar.
The DBQ/Essay section will take place on THURSDAY 12/21/06. You will only need to bring a pen for that section. You will be allowed to bring one (1) post-it with information that you think will help you do well on that section.
The MULTIPLE CHOICE section will take place on FRIDAY 12/22/06. A study sheet will be posted below for the MC section. Additionally, a handout will be given in class for this part of the exam. Therefore, on FRIDAY, you will need to bring your PENCILS! You will also be allowed to bring one (1) post-it with the information that you think will help you do well on that section.
