The most missed questions seem to be surface questions; nothing truly hard, and definitely not deep. They ask you basically who is saying what, why are they saying it, and would they agree or disagree to such and such things. They are tricky level one and two questions. So why do most of us miss them? The question may be asked in a way that makes us think the answer is deeper than it actually is. The question may be utilizing terms or concepts we don't know or don't remember. We may be making these questions harder than they are, or we may have never had any real chance of answering it correctly anyway. Either way what we can do to begin solving the problem is by knowing that although these questions are meant to make us think, there is nothing we have to interpret as if we are finding a thesis for an essay; we inly have so much time and too many excerpts to think like we're writing an essay. Know that the questions will never go deeper than what should be seen. And as gor yhe terms a.d concepts dillema, study more literature elements and devices.
Now, my goals for the class are simple: pass, pass, and, lets not forget, pass with an A. For those tricky benchmark questions, i'll do what I stated above. For essays, i'll steal einstein's brain. I know he can think at the speed of light.
