AP Style Practice “Quiz”

Please take 45 seconds to watch this video I created as part of my Genghis Grill Health Kwest. Thanks!


To help you get used to AP Style before we have any “official” quizzes (via GeorgiaVIEW or BlackBoard), please try your hand at determining which of the sentences in the PDF below have errors in them. It’s easiest if you print the PDF and work on it as a hardcopy.

Correct all the AP errors you find, then watch the video to see how well you did.

  1. Hello Professor Nixon,

    Thank you very much for this quiz, I found it so helpful. I just wanted to point out that for question 29, it would be more accurate to say the city councils “adopted” or “approved” the resolutions as the word “passed” can only be used for bills.
