After the practice test
Study mechanisms of persecution without flattening different atrocities into one story
Build a sequence: exclusionary ideas, legal discrimination, identification and segregation, coercive institutions, deportation or confinement, mass killing, and responses by victims, bystanders, rescuers, collaborators, and states. Compare cases carefully—shared mechanisms matter, but ideology, targets, geography, and wartime context differ.
Return to the questions you missed and write one sentence explaining why your choice was tempting and one sentence naming the evidence that makes the correct answer stronger. That correction routine turns feedback into retrieval practice you can use on a new source.
