This quiz is to be used as a study guide for my 6th grade Religious Education students. This quiz
will help to prepare for the spring 2010 Confirmation Test. Students should use this quiz as a supplement to studying. Not every test question is addressed in this quiz.

Finally. . . . Good luck! Take your time and do your best.
