Study Tips• Quiz yourself on the quotes at least twice. If you remember best what you
hear, ask someone to quiz you reading the quotes aloud. Though the quote portion of the test will not ask for the circumstance, trying to remember this information forces you to remember details about the plot, which may prove to be important in the multiple choice section.
• Take out your copy of the play. Go through the list of characters at the beginning. Do you know what part less memorable names play in the action? Can you group the names in some way, such as friends and enemies or those who tried to save Caesar versus those who conspired against him? Categorizing characters enhances your understanding of the part they play.
• Skim through your study guides for information you can use in an essay response. Remember that essay prompts are always asking for your opinion supported by facts from the story. There’s no wrong answer for theme, for instance, if you have substantial evidence. Other possibilities are character analysis, tragedy, and plot structure.
• Review your quizzes.
