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! =)
