Synthesis of Course Material

Another thing that we learned in this course is how to answer multiple choice questions for the AP. One thing we learned was to make sure that you read the questions before reading the actual article. This helps save time because it allows you to keep an eye out for what specifics you might have to be looking for, and allows you to find out which questions to answer first and which to save for last simply because they would take too long to answer. Most questions that you should save consist of questions that require you to look for something in the text or questions that give you examples of things to identify in the text with one answer that doesn't exist in the text. This requires you to look through the text and locate all of these which can be very time consuming. I would say that the hardest part about the multiple choice part of the test is probably conserving time. I find that when doing the multiple choice section you generally have to look back at the text very often and reread it several times which can be time consuming and so reading the questions before the passage can help but it still helps to keep an eye on the clock and use your time wisely.
