Hey everyone! So basically this is a practice exam for the one on Friday. I would suggest doing this on a laptop because there are long answer questions and keeping a piece of paper near you so that you can write down questions you got wrong so you can study more. Also, try not to look at your notes at all because you won't have them during the exam. Read every question carefully, and these are only possible questions that could show up on the exam. Try your best and also don't forget to read over the exam outline review to know what she's looking for. For the short answer questions, do not forget a strong topic sentence as well as details, examples, and supporting statements. Put in some effort so you can actually try, and GOOD LUCK! You can try this exam as many times as you'd like, and you can also come back to re-answer short answer questions so that you can take multiple perspectives on it to see what you would like to say on the final exam. I have left the short answer questions a little bit more open than what Ms. Donia will be asking on the actual exam 'cause this leaves room for more ideas and more practicing in case she asks something similar. Okay, I talk too much and really don't know how to keep my writing concise which really won't help me on my exam, but good luck to you guys!!! <3
