DIRECTIONS:
The Tasks and Topics on this page were specified by ICBC.
For each Task,
count how
many of its Topics you remember from the Chapters you have
read, then print that total after
the Task #.# on your worksheet. |
Example:
For Task 1.1, if you remember reading about "driver
attitudes" and "animals", you would print "2"
after "1.1(8)" on the worksheet; however, if you
don't remember reading about any of the 8 Topics listed,
you would print "0". |
