Periodic Trends on the Exam

Periodic trends were on the exam, and when I saw the first question about them I freaked out. How was I supposed to know the answer to that? There's so many trends. But, I flipped over my handy dandy periodic table and wrote out the chart that I made for trends. THATS how I'm supposed to answer those questions. It took a lot of flipping back and forth of my periodic table to my chart, but I think ultimately that is what helped me the most on the exam. Point 1 for memorization.
