All answers added, for your convenience. But I will tweak some of these questions so you'll have to use your brain, not just your study guide.
Please be ready for map questions based on the RMQRWA.
An important item: the exam will be scored at 20% of your semester scores, acc to the CPSB rules. That could be disastrous to the unprepared. Grades usually take somewhat of a downturn at the end of the second semester, but going into this test without notes could be very disappointing to you and your parents. I'm going to ask my substitute to record students who arrive with notes and those who do not.
