Study Tips
So you don't have to do all 112 terms at the same time, you can star all of the terms in a certain period, and study only those until you get
... [Show More] them right, then move on to the next period.
I recommend going through the entire thing at least once because the test won't be ordered period by period, it'll have everything all in one place.
Also I don't explain the causes behind the events too much in this quizlet, so if you're confused about why something happened ask Mrs. Leister, google it, or look at your own notes.
