Unit 2: Ancient Mediterranean
Art History · Unit 2 · Paper 3

Ancient Mediterranean unit test

A test on this unit alone, marked as a percentage and a letter grade — for the test your class is actually sitting, rather than for May. Answer everything, then submit once: seeing the answer to question 3 before attempting question 4 makes the final percentage meaningless.

Each paper is built from this unit’s 24 terms and is the same for everyone, so a teacher can assign “Unit 2, Paper 3” and every student sits the identical test. Multiple choice is marked objectively; the written sections you mark yourself against the model answer and rubric.
