GOOD LUCK!!!!

Good luck tomorrow! You can do it!! Have confidence!!

For the multiple choice...

1. Wear a watch.
2. Note the time you begin.
3. Choose the multiple choice section that appeals to you the most.
4. Note 15 minutes on your paper. (Your stop time).
5. Read the whole selection (twice for a shorter piece)
6. Answer the questions using POE. If you can get down to 2, guess!

Try to get to all of your selections. Remember, you are trying to miss only 3-4 per selection! If time is running out, DO NOT just randomly guess. You will be losing points.

6. Create a literary device/effect chart.
7. Write a thesis.
