Fun Quizzes To Test Yourself
Test Your Literary Quotient
By Drew Kaplan
Hey,
if you're like me, you love to put yourself to the test. Well now you can challenge
yourself with: Quote Quizzes, Phrase Quizzes, Who Wrote That Quizzes, Shakespeare
Quizzes? and more.
 I've
even included Rollover Hints you can use to help you. But that might be cheating. :)
These
self-scoring Bible Quizzes and Literature Quizzes let you anonymously test
yourself as you go. Now you'll see if you really earned that fancy degree or not.
I find these quizzes humbling, but you might do much better than I did.
Of
course, s ince
I write the quizzes I really do see how much I didn't know in the first place
or remember 30 years later.
So, I guess I'm putting my UCLA education right up against yours.
Each
quiz consists of 10 questions. Each question is worth 10 points. So, I expect
you'll see lots of 100% scores appearing on your monitors as you work/play your
way through all my quizzes.
So are you up to the challenge? Are you knowledgeable enough? Can you beat
my quizzes? Do you know who wrote that Poem in 10 words or less? Let's have a
blast and find out what you know.
Important information
OK,
I admit it. I was a geek growing up. I read dictionaries and encyclopedias for
fun (Britannica).
Anyway, fun really can be interspersed with learning. That's when I think fun
is best. So, look at what you get.
1)
Learn as you go.
For every question, after you answer it, you'll see the full question and the
answer on the page. Why? So, you'll have a visual memory of the question and the
answer together. Multi-modal leaning is best.
2)
What if you don't know an answer? Easy, Click the Answer Button and you'll
see the full question and correct answer on your screen. Then you'll know the
answer for next time and for use in your daily life.
3)
Rollover Hints. OK, yes it's fun, and I've been, well maybe, accusing you
of cheating. But, if you really don't know, take the hint. It's better than clicking
the wrong button. You don't want to reinforce incorrect answers.
4)
You're the winner. So, either you get a great score or you get a great score.
Well, it's like this. If you don't get the right answer to a question I tell you
as soon as you click your answer.
This is good positive reinforcement. Then you can click "Try Again".
This way you will get the correct answer 'eventually'. :)
So, you'll get
the
positive reinforcement of
knowing the correct answer and seeing it displayed along with the original question
right on your monitor.
And, you also get the
full 10 points for getting the question correct. So, you win twice.
You only lose your points
if you don't go back and answer a question correctly. And that's a good thing.
So, now you can test your
literary knowledge. Take Poe, Dickens and Shakespeare Quizzes.Or try my First
Line Quizzes, Bible Quizzes and Who Wrote That Quizzes.
Plus there are literature
quizzes and mythology quizzes to test your literary IQ. Why not take a Bible Quiz,
a quote quiz or a last word quiz?

It's a DAKonian interactive
contest brought to you by the DAK Catalog. Check out and download any of the 5000
Free Books, read a Shakespearean Sonnet, on your computer or even on your Palm
Pilot.
It's all just a click

in itself.

Bible quizzes, Shakespeare Quizzes and Literature Quizzes above and put yourself
to the test?
