Tomorrow, you will write a multiple choice reading comprehension exam.
I am posting the test prep sheet here for those who are absent. The rest of the students received this as a handout.
ELA B 30 Unit One: Test Prep
Your exam will consist of three readings relating to ideals,
characteristics or understanding of self. There are twenty-four questions.
Each reading must be read actively (highlighting main
points, 5Ws and other
pertinent information; paraphrasing).
Each question must be answered using process of elimination
(eliminating the
“wrong” answers to arrive at the best one(s).
You will be marked as follows:
M.C. questions = 50 marks (some are worth two points; some
are worth
three points)
Active Reading = 25 marks
Process of elimination = 25 marks
Total = 100
