Map 7 – Sub-Saharan Africa

Map 3 – Water Features

Map 8 – North Africa & the Middle East

Map 4 – North America and the Caribbean

Map 9 – Eastern Asia, Central Asia, Southern Asia, Southeastern Asia

When is the first map test? During the 1st six-weeks of school. Your teacher will give you more information on the first day of school, but you can begin studying this summer.

How do I study? Studying for map tests takes time and preparation. The first step is to find each feature and label blank outline maps. Use the list below and quiz yourself by labeling blank maps and seeing how much you know. Listed below are links where you can test yourself online.
