You will be completing the study guide with your table groups. All answers can be found by looking through my digital agendas and all questions on the study guide are organized by unit (meaning you wont have a question about the Revolution followed by a question about the colonies).
You will also receive a cheat sheet that you can use on the test. Fit as much information as you can on the notecard, it will be the ONLY thing you will be allowed to use on the test.
