During the test:

Read the directions. 

It’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

Answer easy questions first.

Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Answer every question.

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Ask questions.

If a question isn't clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

More Tips

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·      Read the website’s home page and the About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.

·      If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the Web.

·      Check the date. Facts can change overtime, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

·      Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well–organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.

"Gold medals don't make champions… hard work does."

-Anon

Reflection: A gold medal doesn’t mean anything to a champion. He could have done the best he could have and been okay with it. Why? Because that champion knew what was right and even if it wasn’t them they are happy to support an opposing team member because that’s what you do.

Read Between the Lines

Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·      Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·      Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.

·      Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.

·      Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.
