Study Tips
 A good strategy for review would be to study one geographic area a night. One night work on North Africa, another
Southwest Asia, and another night work on Central Asia. Taking bite sized chunks will make it super easy!
 The blank outline maps used for the quiz are included on the following page. A good way to study would be
practicing filling out these exact maps, because the same images will be used on the quiz.
 The following online study resources will be helpful:
