    LTRE 190 MA4 Test Prep

    The test preparation strategy I used for Exploring American Histories in module 3 of LTRE 190 was PORPE. Using this application gave us the bets suited strategy for preparing for a major subjective exam. The main focus of this test-preparation strategy is to prep us on the material we already read and mastered. Following the format of the strategy we know there are five easy steps to follow. 1. Predicting a test question, 2. Organizing the material to write a response, 3. Rehearsing our response, 4. Practice writing, and 5. Evaluating our response. Keeping these five steps in mind I applied them. For example, a test question I would predict that would be in the test would be what was a cause of the Civil rights Act of 1964? Once predicted I gather my materials, my study guides for this section consisting of the 5w’s Who, What Where and When and why. Who were affected African Americans, What did they want? They wanted equal opportunity and desegregation of public buildings. Where: consisted mostly of the south of the United States. When: It had occurred mostly around 1963-1965. Why: Many African Americans were tired of being segregated and not having fair opportunity as white people including a major right to vote. I then move to step 3 and start writing segments of my answer into my head and understanding the concept. Once I reach the step 4, I would write down a sample paper similar to what I would write in the real subjective exam. Finally the final step of I would evaluate. Using a mindset of a teacher I would ask myself If I hit the points of writing where I check if my answer goes well with what was originally asked. I then looked for feedback and help adjust my paper.…
