College Comp Modular need help with Citing Sources.
#1
HI

I'm scheduled to take the College Comp Modular with No essay on July 5. I dont need the essay for my school and this is confirmed.

My question is : So far Ive gone through all 288 questions for the Instantcert for College Comp and by far the hardest part for me is the APA/MLA etc citing sources portions. For the life of me I cannot retain the specific formats for these and I know that these should be easy because its a format that each follows. Does anyone have a study guide that simplifies the learning of these, that goes beyond what Instancert does?

Also any additional help for this test would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dave

Every time I write a paper I reference the Owl prelude site, very good as giving basic outlines, with that said, I don't remember many questions on this section when I took the test (over a year ago)

It shouldn't get as tricky as the TECEPs-102 citation because it is all multiple choice, odd's are it might have a basic question like which of the following is in the correct format. (2 of which will probably start with a first name instead of a last so they are obviously wrong)

Dave,

I'll second Gingerbeef's suggestion- OWL is the way to go.
If it makes you feel better, 100% of grad school writing is APA/MLA and even after using it for a number of years, I still look things up. You may find it helpful to use the help tools in your word processing software. Word has a feature that lets you input data for each source and then auto-generates citations as well as auto-creates a reference/bibliography page. It's a very helpful tool.
