Review 1st MC Test• In your groups, compare results to determine why
you missed the questions that you missed.
• Look for patterns in your performance. Do you:o study dates too much? too little? o are there areas of the content that you did not review
enough or that you find more challenging to master?o do you have a difficult time with negative construction
stems?o do you talk yourself out of the best answer?
CCP• Liberty is to faction, what air
is to fire, an ailment without which it instantly expires. But it could not be a less folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life, because it nourishes faction, than it would be to wish the annihilation of air, which is essential to animal life, because it imparts to fire its destructive agency.
