Test Corrections are not required, but are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for the APUSH multiple choice
tests. They provide many benefits that you cannot get from other activities. Doing test corrections:


makes you a better test taker.
helps raise your grade.
o If you complete all test corrections each semester, you can drop your lowest multiple
choice test score.
Test Corrections need to follow this format:

Incorrect answers will not be marked on the scantron, so you will need to work with your group
to determine which answers you got wrong.
For each of the answers that you got wrong, you will need to write a correct answer statement.
This means you will need to write a sentence that gives the correct information from the
question and answer.
o If it is a NOT question, do not tell me which answers were wrong, tell me the correct
answer.
Your name and the title of the test (ex. Chapter 11-12 MC) need to be at the top of the
corrections.
When you have completed the test corrections, put it in the correct folder of the Test
Corrections box (blue with red sign) on the windowsill.
You should try to complete test corrections within a week of taking the test.
I will go over some of the correct answers the day after the test is given, but if you want to see
all of the correct answers to see if you answered all of your corrections right, you will need to
come in before or after school or during SRT.
