Success on exams in Writing Skills...
  and study guides

 Grammar is not intuitive.  Bad habits can be corrected.  Test-taking is a skill.

In multiple choice or true/false tests, your first choice is your best choice.  Don't second-guess.

Answer all questions.  If you guess right, your grade goes up. If you guess wrong it can't hurt you.

Read assigned work, attend class, and ask questions when you don't understand.

The most common grammar errors involve articles, prepositions, commas, and pronouns.
