The document provides test-taking strategies for different types of tests:
1) A five day test preparation plan is outlined to help students study and review information over several days leading up to the test.
2) For multiple choice tests, students are advised to watch out for "umbrella" or "fusion" questions that seem to have multiple correct answers, as well as questions containing absolute words.
3) For true/false tests, students should choose "true" unless they know the statement is false, and be careful of statements with negatives or absolutes.

Let’s face it, we all have been around (or have been) someone in a workplace who just doesn’t want to be there. You can see right off the bat what type of traits disengaged employees have just by talking to them in the office for a bit. Now, by definition disengaged employees are people who don’t care for their company and have no intention of helping it grow; so they can be quite harmful if they’re within your office.
If you’re looking for a couple of personality traits for these type of colleagues have, Officevibe narrowed it down to these:
1. Constantly Complaining
2. Make Excuses
3. Lack Enthusiasm
4. Doesn’t Help Others
5. Gossip
6. Lying
7. Know-It-All
8. Independent
9. Irresponsible
10. No Initiative

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

7. Multiple Choice Tests
7
“Umbrella”Questions: Also known as
“fusion” questions, seem to have four
correct answers.
1. Which of the following is
a part of a car?
a. Oil filter
b. Engine
c. Carbeurator
d. Air filter
8. Multiple Choice Tests
8
You probably noticed that all of these choices
look like “good” answers. This is a clue that
you have an umbrella, or “fusion” question.
The clue is that three of the answers fit within
the category of the fourth. In this case,
carbeurator, air filter and oil filter are all parts
of the engine, so “engine” is the correct
answer. You may also notice that “engine” is
a more general term than the others. Let’s try
another…
The correct answer is “B”, engine.
9. 9
Which of the following is a part of the
human leg?
a. The femur
b.The thigh
c. The quadriceps
d.The hamstrings
Right away, you probably recognized that
these are ALL part of a leg, so how do you
decide . This is an example of another
“umbrella” question.
10. The Answer Is…
“B”, the thigh, because the others are all part
of the thigh, which again is also the most
general of the terms.
10
11. 11
…and another
Which of the following is found in the U.S.?
a. Richmond
b. Roanoke
c. Lynchburg
d. Virginia
12. And the Answer IS…
12
You probably got that one right!
It’s “D”, Virginia, because the
others are located in Virginia.
13. Absolute Words
13
Another obstacle to
taking multiple
choice tests is when
absolute words
appear in the
choices. At the right
is a list of some
absolute words.
These usually make
a sentence false.
None
Never
All
Always
Every day
Only
Must
14. Here is an example:
14
1. The result of Barney’s study showed that:
A. All people suffer from SPAK
B. No people suffer from SPAK
C. SPAK never occurs in young people
D. SPAK may be found more in older people
15. 15
The answer is “4”
Did you notice that choices 1, 2 and 3
contained the absolute words “all”, “no”, and
“never”. In general, absolute words limit too
many options to be good choices for an
answer.
The correct choice, however, was more
general – it contained the word “may”.
16. 16
Here is another example:
People with chronic
disease can be described
as:
a. Inevitably in pain
b. Always grouchy
c. Never able to walk
d.Needing more assistance
17. The Answer is…
17
Can we really say that these people are
ALWAYS grouchy or INEVITABLY in pain or
NEVER able to walk? Of course not. The
correct answer is “D”, “needing more
assistance.”
18. 18
What about unfamiliar words?
Some MP questions are phrased using words you
have never heard. They may even be made-up
words. Most students “freak out” when they see
those words, and decide to guess at the answer.
However, this is another test of your deductive
reasoning. If you ignore the strange word, does
the question still make sense? Can you answer it
without knowing what the word means?….
19. 19
Let’s take a look….
You are treating a patient with Kupe’s disease. When
comparing cotylenol to bitylenol, which of the following
would be the most appropriate intervention for this
patient?
a. Cotylenol is more appropriate
b. Bitylenol is more appropriate
c. Bitylenol is not as appropriate
d. Both a and b
20. 20
This requires more deductive reasoning…Look at
the clues in the scenario given.
1. You don’t know what Kupe’s disease is;
2. You have never heard of “cotylenol” or
“bitylenol”;
3. All of the above are made up words, but it
doesn’t matter.
21. 21
Here are the choices again..
a. Cotylenol is more appropriate
b. Bitylenol is more appropriate
c. Bitylenol is not as appropriate
d. Both a and b
• The answer can’t be “d” because you are asked to
choose between either cotylenol or bitylenol.
• The answer can’t be “a” or “c” because they say the
same thing
• That only leaves “b” as an answer, even though you
have no idea what “Kupes” disease is. No need to
freak out when you see unfamiliar terms!
22. The more complex questionasks you to:
22
Prioritize the answers in some order (most
important, best, last, first, initial, etc.);
Use deductive reasoning;
Also use your content knowledge;
Compare only the answers that are given
23. True/False Tests:
ChooseTRUE unless you know the statement is
FALSE;
For a statement to beTRUE, everything about
the statement must beTRUE;
Be careful when a statement has a negative such
as “not”, “do not”, or “in” (e.g. “infrequent”) and
“un” (e.g., “unfriendly”)
A negative can completely change the meaning of the
statement
23
24. True/False Tests:
If a statement has two negatives, cross out both
negatives
This will make it easier for you to understand the
statement
It is never not a good idea to serve the people.
Absolute statements are usually FALSE
Absolute statements include words such as
All, every, never, no (Dogs are never bald.)
Qualified statements are usuallyTRUE
Qualified statements include terms such as
Some, most, sometimes, rarely (Some dogs are bald.)
24
25. Answer these T/F questions:
It is never not a bad idea to sleep late.
People in the middle ages were always short.
Some of the Shawnee Indians were
astrologers.
All of the students have a GPA over 2.5.
None of the scientists believe in God.
25
26. Matching Tests:
Read all the items in
both columns before
making any matches
Start by making the
matches about which
you are sure
Cross out items in both
columns as you make
matches
Make your best guess
for remaining items,
unless there is a
penalty for guessing
26
27. Completion Tests:
Read the item and think about what is missing
Write an answer that logically completes the
item
Be sure your answer fits the item grammatically
Use the length of the line as a clue to the length
of the answer
Unless the length of the blank is the same for all
answers
After you write the answer, read the entire
answer to make sure it makes sense.
27
28. Examples:
There were too many people coming into the
colony, and there was not enough
________,which led to many issues.
Supplies will last far into the _________due to
advances in exploration and production.
There were no identified problems that would
alter ____________recommendations
