For all ID exams you will receive six IDs and have to write about four of them in paragraphs or four or five sentences each. What to say? Who, what, when, where, and, most important, why; give us some context!
You’ll have a half hour for the exam. Each ID will be worth a maximum of 25 points. Bring a blue book!
