Document Summary

The purpose of the multiple choice format is to test the breadth and depth of your historical literacy. The review sheet contains the key terms and knowledge that would be associated with someone reasonably informed about postwar world history. No exam format is perfect, but the multiple choice format is a venerable staple used by the foreign. Service, lsat, and other testing agencies to objectively assess a person"s factual knowledge. Most students appreciate the review sheet, but feel the multiple choice questions are tricky. " it is not my intention to trick you. To the contrary, i spend a lot of time working the questions each semester to try and get the wording right. One of the things i struggle with is using the simplest words possible, versus terms that while more complex have a deeper meaning and so strike a clear contrast. What you should understand is that there is a logic behind multiple choice questions.
