ASB/ABS/SAB Lit. Test

I wrote the Short Story Test today.  You'll want to know the following about it:

Content

- "The Birthmark"

- "Young Goodman Brown"

- "The Cask of Amontillado"

- "The Murders in the Rue Morgue"

- All literary terms that apply

- Story vocabulary

Value

- 58 questions

- 3 points/question

- 174 points total (3/4 of your short story unit grade)

Time

- 30 seconds/question (competition standard)

- 29 minutes total

Study Suggestions

- Read the quizes we took

- Read over hand-written notes (setting, protagonist, etc)

- Read over footnotes, especially for defintions of the story's vocabulary (words like "deacon").

FYI: I had a former ASB Literature member take the test.  It took him 7 minutes.  He has read " The Cask of Amontillado" in school last year, had heard me talk a little about the stories, and knew the LTs from previous years on the team.  He got 51/58 correct, an 88%.  There's no reason that everyone else shouldn't get that score or better.  No pressure!  The point is that if you know you're stuff, you should have good prospects!  =)
