Enriched - you did extra sections in the Algebra Book (1.7, 2.8, 4.1 and 4.8). You should study these too!
Study tips for EXAM Friday: You should get together all of your tests/quizzes from the entire year, this will be your study guide. Make sure you understand everything you missed on old tests and quizzes. You can even make yourself a practice exam by copying questions from the test/quizzes on another sheet of paper and take the practice exam. You will have the answers because we have gone over every test in class.
