Contents

1. Instructions for the map test
2. List of locations and items that may appear on the test
3. Blank map of Africa showing national borders

1. Print out a copy of a blank map of Africa showing national borders.
2. Make several photocopies of the map so you can practice.
3. Using the maps in your books and in the University library, locate each of the items on the following list .

In the past, my map tests have had questions like the following:

1. Identify the capital of each country (followed by a list of countries).
2. List the countries that border on Senegal.
3. Which is farther north, Yaounde or Brazzaville?
4. [Using the map supplied with the test,] identify each of the numbered place names.

In other words, don't just memorize the list of names, learn where they are and what they are.
