How to Use This Lab
The point of a lab is repeated trials. Treat each practice test as one trial and record the result.
- Set a length. Pick a 10 or 20 question test, then start.
- Answer and submit. A score of 60 percent or higher is a passing result, the same bar used on the real test.
- Review misses. Read the correct answers for the questions you got wrong.
- Log the attempt. Save the date, score, and percent to the data table.
- Repeat and compare. Take more tests and look for your percent rising across attempts.
Every question here uses standard, well-established civics facts. Use the lab report to write a hypothesis about your learning and a conclusion once you have several attempts logged.
