Grammarly?
That works!!
How can I improve interpretation for Multiple choice? Since essays are tough, multiple choice is needed to keep the grade high.
Just took a vocab test today. What strategies do you all recommend to understand where words fit in context?
I have a multiple choice test tomorrow. Can anyone recommend any strategies, techniques, videos, or any advice on how I can read and understand passages better to answer the multiple choice questions more effectively?
Please reply ASAP!! The test is tomorrow and it is very crucial for me!!
I would really appreciate any help!!
First of all, don’t get so stressed about this. Stress makes everything much worse than it is. Take a breath and come back to it.
Doing well in English is about comprehension of what is being communicated to you through written text and then being able to further communicate ideas through writing.
My first advice to you is to read whenever you can. I have least read a ton, and it is so so so helpful. Learning how to quickly understand information takes time.
With multiple choice questions, however, I recommend reading the questions before the passage and then going back to the passage and look for what the questions are on.
With essays, figure out what you want to write about, how you’ll structure it, and what you will use as evidence before you start writing.
Imagine that you are testifying in a courtroom. You have all these resources available, and you have to form a narrative to make other people agree with you.
Argue your point as if was one of the most important things in the world to you.
@fightingdragonz How can I find out the correct answer when I am deciding on 2 possible answers? I face this problem like every time and it drains away all the time left in the testing period.
I have a midterm coming up. How should I read passages more effectively to answer the multiple choice more smoothly, and also prevent draining the remaining time?

My English teacher told us to read the questions before reading the passage. Annotate reading comprehension passages while you read them. Also, if your midterm has an essay, do the multiple choice first. On my English final last year, I wrote a really good essay, but I only had 30 minutes to do 50 multiple choice. I still got an A in the class, though.
It can be pretty hard to decide between 2 choices sometimes, and for me it’s about looking at what would be the more likely answer. Read the passage, really get the feeling and focus on that. Most of the questions you’re having trouble with probably have to do with inference and tone and that kind of thing, so I’d just say go with your gut.
Also, getting a B in freshman English is not the end of the world.
Yeah… What should I do for questions that ask to describe tone for example in a word(Multiple choices) and one or two of the choices is a word that I don’t know?
Use grammar.ly for essays.
For the multiple choice cold read/passage questions, narrow it down to two, go up to the teacher and ask as many questions you can think of to help her give you the answer. If you don’t know, make the best guess possible, write the question # down, and move on.
Study LOTS for the midterm if you have Romeo and Juliet on it, as that section was hell with all of the quotes.
I got a 122/126 on my midterm, so with these tips you should do pretty well.
Making quizlets helps a lot as when you make the quizlet you remember it better.
On quizlet, at first do the learn mode until you get 100% on all of the terms twice. After that, move to the write mode. After getting 100% on write, take the sample tests. Then go back to learn for review.
For MUGS/Grammar it is pure memorization.
Do you have any websites to recommend as good practice for multiple choice?
