Objectives: HHG Tributes will score 80% or higher on FSA 5, tracking their exam to show evidence for their answers choices.

Step 1: Open your study guides-- you have 10 minutes to clarify any last questions or concepts before the FSA.

Step 2: Show what you know!

Directions for taking the FSA 5: 

1. Break the questions down by defining key terms and listing the possible answers before looking at your choices. 
2. Use your tracks to inform your answer choice.
3. Next to each answer, explain why the correct answer is right and why the incorrect answers are wrong. 
4. Bubble in your choice. 

Pro Tip: Do not choose answer before you track. 

• If you are tracking after you choose, you are just justifying your choices. 
• If you track before, you are using your tracks to support your choice.

Can you turn in your exam without tracks??
