Test Prep TEST ON MONDAY
Here are my recommendations for preparing for the test on Monday.
1) You can take the test online at any time this weekend.
Go to http://la.ldschurch.org/online login with your lds account and select the assessment called Doctrine and Covenants 76-Official Declaration 2 Learning Assessment. I would recommend that you do this if you will be missing class on Monday or if you do better with tests when you have more time to think about it. Anyone can take the test online before or during class. Please don't use your scriptures or any other study help when you take the test.
2) Go to join.quizizz.com and use these two game codes to review the material before you take the test.

- GAMECODE 494520 (this one will ask you to login...just make one up...AND it will prepare you for the type of questions that are on the final)
3) Work through the Study Guide (everything on this study guide will be on the test. Please don't miss the BOLDED/HIGHLIGHTED SECTION below..that section will help you prepare for the WRITING portion of the test)
