TEST CORRECTION GUIDELINES |
AP US History |
Students may earn ONE (1) test point back for every correction that they make:
Skip a line between a, b, and c and skip TWO lines between each item you’re correcting.
- What is the correct answer and WHY? Include a quoted citation from a textbook, primary source, secondary reading, or website. (2-3 complete sentences)
- Why was your answer wrong? Explain. (1-2 complete sentences)
- What stopped you from getting this answer correct? Was it lack of content knowledge, a careless mistake, a test-taking pitfall, or a combination of multiple factors? (1-2 complete sentences)
Skip a line between a, b, and c and skip TWO lines between each item you’re correcting.
CITATIONS: The goal is for me to be able to find it easily.
COURSE TEXTBOOK: Cite page number (AMSCO, 147)
PRIMARY SOURCE DOCUMENT: (Author, Title of Document)
WIKIPEDIA: (Name of Article – Wikipedia)
GOOGLE BOOKS: (Name of Book, ## - Google Books)

DO NOT USE ONLINE TEST QUESTION BANKS TO FIND ANSWERS.
If this happens, I will have to discontinue the use of computers for test
corrections and you’ll be stuck using a traditional textbook.

Many thanks to Ms. Rachel Snyder of Culver City High School (CA) for giving me the idea to get students to correct their tests for extra points!
