5. Benchmark Exam: You will have 1:45 to complete the exam. There is only one class set of exams so do not write on the booklet. Write only on your answer sheet. You may use scratch paper if necessary. VERY IMPORTANT: You must answer all the questions. Answers left blank cause an error when reading the answer sheets. There are a couple of questions that you will not be able to answer because we did not learn that specific material. If you finish early, check your answers. Then read Howard Zinn Chapter 12.
