Study Guides and Strategies

Set Up a time schedule to answer each question and review/ edit all question.

- If 6 questions are to be answered in 60 minutes, you should allow yourself only 7 minutes for each.
- If questions are "weighed", prioritize that into your time allocation for each question.
- If time is up for one question, stop writting, leave space, and begin the next question. The incomplete answered during review time. 
- 6 Incomplete answers will recieve ore credit than 3 complete ones
Read through the questions first and note if you have any choice in answering questions.
- pay atteention to how the question is phrased or to the directives or words such as compare, contrast and critisize, ect.
- Answers will come to mind immediately for some questions. 
Before attempting to answer a question, put it in your own words.  
- Now compare your virgin with the original. Do they mean the same? If they dont you  misread the question. You'll be suprised how often the dont agree.
Think before you write
Make a breif outline for each question
Number the items in ore you will discuss them 
- Get riht to the point. State your main part in the first sentence. Use the first paragraph to provide an overveiw of your essay. Use the rest of your essay to ddiscuss your points in more detail.back up your points with specific information, examples, or questions from your readings and notes.
-  Teachers are influenced by completeness and clarity of an organized answer. 
- Writting in the hope that the right answer will somehow turn up is time- consuming 
- To know alittle and to present that little well is superior to knowing much and presenting it parly when judged by the grade recieved.
Writting and answering. 
Begin with a dtroong first sentence that states the main idea of your essay. Continue the first pargraph by presenting key points.
-Begin each paragraph with a key point from the introduction. 
- Develope each point in a complete paragraph.
- Use transistions to connect your points
- hold to you time allocation and orgnization.
- quality answers when in dought it is better to say towards the end of the 19th century than to say in 1894, when you cant remember whelther its 1884 or 1894 . in many cases the approxiamately may be incorrect and will be marked accordinly. 
Summarize in your last paragraph
- Restate your central idea and indicate why it is important
