1. Best to study from you Chapter Review
Worksheets but here are some tips……

2. This Study Guide has some hints to study for
your final exam. It does not have everything to
study. You should use your notes and Chapter
Review Worksheets to also study from. It would
also be helpful to review notes and PowerPoints
posted in the Netvibes Start Page.
