Western Civilization I / Unit 18   WC1 1701 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The Exam's Shape: 120 Questions, Six Weights, Five Abilities

Captions available

The idea

The exam is about one hundred twenty questions in ninety minutes, from the ancient Near East to sixteen forty-eight. Six periods carry fixed weights, and five abilities are tested: recall, cause and effect, chronology, maps and documents, and a passage's assumptions.

In practice

Medieval history is the largest band.

Where people slip

No essays. Every question is a fact, a sequence, or a reading.

Your place on the trail

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
