a. Basic Strategy: Careful, thorough reading is probably the most important aspect of the handling the multiple choice.
b.Terminology: The terms test and the games have really proved useful for questions on the multiple choice.
I would have liked a list of "trap" answer types, and that piece of advice about reading the question and trying to guess and answer before looking at the choices. I like how you included the terms. These are especially important for multiple choice, and it was a good decision to put them here.
ReplyDeleteI feel like you could have added a little more about the answer types as well, like too narrow, too broad, etc. Knowing these different answer types that the writer of the AP test use and understanding them will really help us keep away from choosing those answers on the exam. The organization of this post is wonderful, and very easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteYep. What Nick and Kelly said. Also, some of the terms you're still struggling with & their def's would be good here.
