In ENG 112, modules 1-5 contain quizzes designed to test your knowledge of the information you learned in the module. Test-taking can be daunting for anyone, and this may also catch ENG 112 students off-guard, because there weren't tests in ENG 111. With proper preparation, though, the quizzes are easily managed.
The quizzes generally consist of ten multiple-choice questions, with one quiz in essay form. (Well, "essay" may be overstating it a bit. A good answer consists of about four or five sentences, at the most.) You will have one hour to complete the multiple-question quizzes; the short-answer quiz is not timed.
Before taking the quiz, review the week's material. This includes the textbook lesson, the online lessons, and any outside webpages. Knowing this information is necessary to help you in the quiz, and in the overall course. One thing that is helpful is that the online lesson tells you specifically what information you’ll need to do well in the quiz, whether it’s information from your textbook, the online lesson, an outside website, or a combination of the three. Make notes of any key phrases or instructions. It will help you later on if you have a shortlist of notes to consult.
You only have one chance at each quiz; once you begin, you can't pause or save the quiz. So make sure you have your notes at hand, and that you have one hour available to complete the quiz.
For taking the test, begin by answering the questions you know. Once you've done this, start on any you don't know. Consult your notes, take some time to think over the material, and find the answer you need. Use the remaining time to go back and check all of your answers. One word of advice: when scrolling up and down, make sure that you have not clicked on one of your answers. I accidentally clicked on one of my answers, and then I scrolled down. As a result, I changed my answer without realizing it! Don't make the same mistake!
On all of the quizzes except for the short-answer quiz, you will receive your results as soon as you finish the quiz and submit your answers. The following page will show both your answers and the correct answers.
After module 5, there are no tests until week 11, when you’ll take the final exam. As of the time I am writing this entry, I have not taken the final exam, so I can’t tell you what it’s like. I am sure that it reviews all modules, though. So for modules 6-10, in addition to writing your research paper, keep efficient notes about the material you’re learning. When the time comes for you to take the final exam, spend an hour or so beforehand reviewing your notes for all the modules. Then, when you feel that you have a solid memory and understanding of the material, tell yourself that you can do it, and conquer your last test for ENG 112!
