Page 2 Mid-term Practice

Your midterm exam consists of both multiple-choice and written responses.

  • Some multiple-choice questions require you to recall information learned in Units 1-3. Some require you to answer questions after reading a piece of non-fiction.

  • The written response questions require you to respond to various pieces of writing.

This practice exam provides strategies for your responses to questions on your midterm exam.

Multiple-choice questions include a stem followed by four answer options.

You may find these strategies helpful when completing multiple-choice questions:


  • Read the directions carefully.

  • Skim the multiple-choice section carefully to see what information is wanted, and to determine the amount of time you can afford to spend on this part of the test. 

  • Select the questions for which you know the answers and answer those first. 
  • Use the test as a source of information. Often, the stem in one question will help you answer another one.

  • Read through the test a second time and answer more difficult questions.
    You may see cues for answers from the first reading, or become more comfortable in the testing situation.

  • Tackle the most difficult questions last.

  • If you have time when finished the test, review both questions and answers. Change a response only if you misread a question the first time.
