Rework the Mock
What you'll do tonight
This is the most valuable half-hour of the module, and it is the one most students skip. Do not skip it.
- Reopen the mock and go to your wrong answers. Do not look at the answer key yet.
- Find the answer yourself. For each one, go back into the text and locate the sentence that contains it. Write down where it was — section and paragraph.
- Only then check the key.
- For each wrong answer, write one sentence: where it was, and why I missed it. "Paragraph D, second sentence — I was scanning for 'cheap' and the text said 'not expensive at all'."
- Submit the list by email.
Reading the answer key teaches you the answer. Finding the answer yourself teaches you the search — which is the thing you will need again next Thursday, when the text is one you have never seen.
Your rework list
For every question you got wrong: the question number, where the answer actually was (section and paragraph), and one sentence on why you missed it. Then finish with two sentences: which error category was biggest, and the one specific thing you will do differently in your next timed paper.
