Test Day

Today in class, on November 7, we took a test using the CIA Factbook and our brains. The first part of the test was using the CIA World Factbook. We had 15 minutes to do 15 questions about different facts in the CIA World Factbook. They were of different places and different topics. For example, we had to find the total fertility rate for Mexico. This part of the test was pretty easy even though it was stressful because we had a time limit. The only questions I had trouble with, asked about the ranking of some countries. I finished all the questions within the allotted time except for one because I could not find the answer. The next part of the test was the written part where we had to remember facts from our notes we took in class. We had a section where we had to match different rates, like total fertility rate or natural rate of increase, with their definitions. When we got to the end of the test, we were not allowed to turn in our test until the bell rung. Mr. Schick gave us a page to draw cartoons about the stuff we learned in this unit.
