There is a lot of material to cover for the second unit test as it covers global climates. One way to synthesize your notes on global climate is to create a climate information matrix (linked here). Each column to the right of the list of climates refers to controls over climate. These are:
Global Wind and Pressure Belts
Air Masses
Cyclones (meaning polar front (midlatitude) and arctic front cyclones)
Topography (e.g. leeward or windward influence)
Ocean Currents (cold or warm current influence)
Other (unique characteristics to remember)
Check it out, I hope it helps.
