Good Luck tomorrow!!  See you there!  Prepare tonight....with video or with a fellow students...it will be more relaxing!  You are all doing extremely well with this material and I am sure you will do well on the test!  For all you perfectionists...remember that 60% and above will lead you to a 3 or 4....0r 5!  But you won't know everything so take that in stride when you take the test.  Most of the difficult questions on multiple choice you will be able to figure out.  Or, guess and run and return to question later!! 

FRQs:  Make sure you read the question carefully so you know what the answer requires.  Define, describe, explain, discuss are all common terms.  Make sure you know how to respond.  And answer each part of the question using the letter a)  b).

Again, you will have some challenges and it is important to continue without letting it question your ability to do well.  Everyone has questions that are difficult or beyond their knowledge!!
