test review

Today in class we went over our test that we took on Monday. I got a 70 percent. Our average score as a class was a 75 percent. Even though we got to use our notes, the honors classes got a higher average than our class. On the test, the section that I got the most wrong was identifying absolute location and relative location. I only got two right on these questions.
