Beyond these things, try looking up multiple choice test strategies and record some advice that you think will help.  We've talked about strategies in class, but with these kinds of tests there is no one-size-fits-all approach.  Try to think in terms of time management and what suits you best: will you want to take a peek at the questions before reading a selection, or start reading right away and then answer the questions that are least time-consuming first?

Research Check-In

Now that you have read some books and have taken extensive notes, let me know how your thesis is coming together.  Has your angle changed?  Do you have a sense of what you would like to argue.  Tell me about how you arrived at your idea and explain why your idea is interesting and meaningful to you.
