October 3, 2008, Newsletter Issue #208: Studying for Multiple Choice Tests
Tip of the Week
To get a better grip on all the details that are thrown at you in a history course, create a list that organizes key terms and concepts, people, dates and events that are mentioned in a particular section or chapter.
If you´re studying Moslem history, for example, one of your lists might include the following items:
TERMS
Islam - monotheistic, Arabic religion
Kaaba - shrine in Mecca
Koran - Muslim holy book
rasiah - raid
PEOPLE
Muhammad - founder of Islam who united Arab tribes
Khadija - wife of Muhammad
PLACES
Mecca - Arabian trade center, birthplace of Muhammad
Medina - city north of Mecca to which Muhammad fled in 622
A.D. & first stronghold of Muhammad´s power
Test your recall by placing the definition on the flip side of a page or index card. Once you´ve got a good grasp of the details, you´re ready to tackle problems of analysis and interpretation. Any multiple-choice quiz will be snap.
