Multiple-Choice Practice and Reflections

AP Multiple-Choice questions are tough, but you know who else is tough--you.  [cue Rocky theme music] Remember, this isn’t a one day battle, it’s a year-long fight to the finish.  Your first day in the trenches might have been a bruising one, but you know what they say?  Rome wasn’t conquered in a day! (what’s that?  … it was?  … whoops, wrong analogy … Rome wasn’t built in a day).    Right.  Ok.  [cue the Bob the Builder theme music] We’re building a … house here … a house of awesome.  And we’re just now laying the foundation.  Each question you learn how to do is like learning a new skill.  Today you learn plumbing, tomorrow roofing, and so on.  So, let’s get in there and build, build, build.  J

Peace, flowers, freedom, happiness,

Mr. G.
