Editing Quiz

Last weekend, our class took a quiz on editing grammatical errors, punctuation errors along with other miscellaneous errors in writing using our AP style book. Half of the test was an open book test, which seemingly makes any test easier, that is except for this test. The AP style book is a helpful book to have and has all the answers, however I still hate it completely. Searching for terms and words gets quite confusing in the book, telling you to go to a different section or not even mentioning the word. The key is to look for other words or terms in the book, which to the college student takes too much time and can become too complicated. I don't
 think it was a surprise the average on this test was dismal for that portion of the test. I know I need to work on looking at the AP style book, it's just a hassle and I need to push through my laziness, however I did feel this test was an eye opener as some of the questions were pointless to some but crucial mistakes in the book. Overall a good lesson to learn.
