SOME HINTSAnswering
Questions
Answer the easy
questions first. Go back and do the hard ones later. Try not to get stuck on a
hard question because you do not want to waste time or become anxious
about. Read
each question carefully In some tests the
wording of the question can be tricky. Consider all the options before choosing
your answer, even if the first option seems correct. This is important when you
have to choose the ´Best` answer in some multiple choice exams. On multiple choice
questions, be alert for grammatical inconsistencies between the question
and the potential answers. Your choice
is nearly always wrong if the question and the answer do not make a
grammatically correct sentence. Be aware of the
wording used in
objective tests. The following words are commonly used in true-false questions: ·
All-most-some-none
·
Always-usually-sometimes-never
·
Great-much-either-none
·
More-equal-less
·
Bad-good,
Is-is not On true-false
questions, be alert for qualifying words such as: ´all`, ´none`, ´always`
and ´never`, Which generally make a statement false; and ´most`, ´some`, ´usually`
and ´seldom`, which tend to make a statement true. In
true-false tests, be alert for multiple ideas or concepts within the question. All parts of the statement must be true or the entire
statement is false. If you really
cannot make a perfect match between the question and the answer, choose the
alternative that is more nearly true than the other choices. Accept
the question at face value. Do not read anything in
or out of the question. Reading too much into a question usually results in a
wrong answer. Do
not change your original answer. In most cases your intuition is correct. Only change your answer if you have a very strong hunch that it is wrong, or you find new evidence.
