Taking Objective Tests Study Strategies Made Easy Leslie Davis, M.Ed. Sandi Sirotowitz, M.Ed. Harvey C. Parker, Ph.D.

Taking Objective Tests Objective tests are the most popular type given by teachers. There are four types of objective tests: Matching Fill-In-The-Blanks True-False Multiple Choice

Taking Objective Tests Objective tests require that you recall specific factual information such as definitions, dates, people, places, and events. Objective tests have either a right or wrong answer. Usually these answers are readily available in your textbook, lecture notes, or additional readings assigned by the teacher. Your recall questions are an excellent review for objective testing.

Follow These General Rules 1.Determine how many questions there are and how much time is allowed. 2.Estimate how much time to spend on each question 3.When beginning the test, always read all the directions. 4.Answer the easiest questions first. Later, go back to complete the more difficult ones.

Follow These General Rules 5.Unless you are penalized for wrong answers, make an educated guess. Don’t leave any question blank. 6. If you are taking a scantron type test, be sure to bubble in the answer sheet correctly.
