My Essay-Quiz Taking Strategy:

I found that this strategy worked rather well timewise today: First, I went through all of the short answer questions and wrote whatever I knew about them, and if I got the least bit stuck at all, I skipped some lines and moved on to the next question. For example, I couldn't remember much about the question about Anatole's wish, so I wrote a few sentences to jog my memory later about it, and then I moved on to the question after that. I didn't waste time getting stuck on a single short answer question just because I couldn't remember. I did the same thing when it came to the question about the ant scourge. I wrote down a few sentences (not the whole answer) because I couldn't think of the rest, but at least then I didn't have to start blindly when I went back through the quiz. Then, I eventually got to the BIG essay question. I looked at the clock and there was tons of time available for it! Starting it earlier this time than previous times was a big help because I didn't feel rushed to write a bunch in a short amount of time. At the end of the BIG essay, I went back to the questions I had left unfinished and finished the quickest ones of those (by this time, I had already written the main essay, so my mind was very engrained in the story, making recalling a little bit easier). I saved the one that I COULD NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME remember, and searched through the book until I found it. I finished the whole quiz with a few minutes left and I didn't feel rushed at all through it. Everyone has their own strategy, but I just thought I would share mine in case anyone wants to try a different one.
