TEST #1 Study Guide

Because the history of the United States was shaped and influenced to a large degree by the geography of the continent,

it is imperative that students know the basic details of United States geography. Therefore the student will be required to

take a geography map test.

The multiple-choice map test will be taken in the Testing Center on an answer sheet provided by the Testing Center.

The map test will be the first test taken in this course and must be completed by the deadline date listed in the syllabus.
