<p>Oh joy! I absolutely frolic when my Biology teacher gives everyone a pop quiz on the first day of the new semester! </p>
<p>End result: EPIC FAIL</p>
<p>Does your teachers give copious amounts of pop quizes, or do they rarely give any?</p>
<p>Oh joy! I absolutely frolic when seclude60 makes a useless thread on the first day I log on since yesterday!</p>
<p>End result: EPIC FAIL</p>
<p>All quizzes in Calc BC are pop quizzes. But since we have them about once weekly, and there have to be 15-20 minutes left at the end of the lesson to do them, it's pretty easy to guess when they'll happen.</p>
<p>ive had 2 pop quizzes in high school. one freshman year in french and one this year(junior) in history.</p>
<p>I think the only pop quiz I've had, the teacher threw out because we did so badly.</p>
<p>Woot!</p>
<p>I have one EVERY DAY in AP Euro. She makes sure we do our homework lol.</p>
<p>^ Then doesn't that defeat rom the purpose of the POP quiz? You know, surprise?</p>
<p>My Precal teacher gave us a couple... but then, he gave us a lesson and homework on the first day of school and has been teaching since 1981, so he is a but nutty. XD</p>
<p>the quiz was probably easy, just a recap of Physical Science</p>
<p>Like a quiz on pop music? I wish my teachers did that! All I listen to is Pop music. How could you fail it?</p>
<p>My teacher gave a pop quiz as an introduction to poetry. I got 43/45... it was kinda funny</p>
<p>^^45 questions? How is that a quiz? : o</p>
<p>Why does Seclude use copious amounts of SAT vocab??</p>
<p>Yes we always get pop quizzes in AP English Lit...and I always do very poorly on them. In fact I got a 29/45 on a pop quiz we just had the other day on "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. Damn I hate that book so much. Lit is my worst class by a long shot. It will probably end up wrecking my valedictorian status too.</p>

<p>It was fill-in the blank with a word bank. An example:</p>
<p>Dramatic Poetry is poetry that uses elements of drama.</p>
<p>I switched anapest and dactyl ... whoops</p>
<p>^ haha I also recently got a 45 point pop quiz.</p>
<p>I haven't had any pop quizzes since my freshman year english class; that teacher was particularly fond of them. On the first day of class, he gave us one and asked us to list for him, like, 40 prepositions, among other things. Ah, and I hate grammar, and had a shoddy understanding of its formal elements at that point, and barely even knew what a preposition was, so I didn't exactly do well on that question, haha...</p>
<p>In APUSH we get about 2 pop quizzes per chapter.</p>
<p>Our first one is a Vocab/Chapter Check regarding the chapter we [were supposed to] read. 10 vocab questions, and then 10 questions on the chapter. These are moderately difficult.
The second one is a Current Events quiz. We get 3-5 Current Events per day, and we get quizzed about once a week. Grade boosters :D</p>

<p>lol, won't deny that, but using sat vocab excessively is neither a mark of intellect nor intelligence....</p>
<p>I guess that depends on what you as "SAT words." A lot of words you'll see on the SAT are pretty basic, and if you have a decent vocabulary you may not distinguish between them and other words.</p>
