Flashback...remember your first post-assessment in Module 1?  I included test-taking tips on that Friday announcement and then asked you to share your favorite with me. Take a look at those tips again before you take today's post-assessment.

Before you take your post-assessment for Module 12, 

• Review the entire module. Read the introductions, review your Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 notes, and take a look at your practice and assignment activities as well.  
• View the flashcards at the beginning of each set of notes so that you understand the vocabulary. 

When you take the post-assessment, remember good test-taking skills:

• Breathe before you open the assessment.  Relax your body so that it will help you relax your mind.
• Read the entire question including all answers before selecting one. Look for the central idea of the question - what is the main point?
• Check over your work before you submit it. If you have a problem submitting, try once more. If you still a problem submitting the assessment, let me know and take screenshots of your intended answers.
