The Terms the Board Actually Uses

Captions available

The idea

The board's sample questions name a form and ask for its label, and the labels are ordinary ones: allegory, burlesque, epistle, fable and parody in one question, movement names in another. The exam asks recognition rather than definition, so learn a term by its clearest example.

In practice

Recognition, not definition.

Where people slip

One clear example per term beats a memorized gloss.
