1 TYPES OF TESTS …MULTIPLE CHOICE, ESSAY, AND TRUE FALSE
FROM THE ACHIEVEMENT CENTER

2 MULTIPLE CHOICE Read question before you look at answers
Read all choices before choosing answer Eliminate wrong answers Do not keep changing answers…usually first choice is correct

3 MULTIPLE CHOICE “All of the above”…do not choose if you are certain one answer is false “None of the above”…do not choose if you are certain one answer is true Usually choice with most information is correct

4 GUIDELINES FOR MULTIPLE CHOICE GUESSING
If 2 answers are similar except for 1 or 2 words, choose one of these If 2 answers have similar sounding/looking words choose one of these If the stem calls for sentence completion, eliminate grammatically incorrect answers If 2 quantities are almost the same, choose one

5 GUIDELINES FOR MULTIPLE CHOICE GUESSING
If answers cover a wide numerical range, choose the middle of the range *****NONE OF THESE TECHNIQUES ARE MEANT TO TAKE THE PLACE OF STUDYING!!!!

6 ESSAY TEST Read directions carefully
If you do not understand question…ask Answer all parts to the question Manage your time for all essays that need answered If question asks for facts do not give opinions

7 ESSAY TEST Find out exactly what question is asking Be neat
Make an outline before answering 1 main idea per paragraph Proofread essays if time allows Use a pen…pencils are hard to read Write on one side of the page only

8 TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS Read question carefully
Pay attention to key words Look for qualifiers---all, most , sometimes, never, rarely are key words If the question contains always or never it is usually false

9 MACHINE GRADED TESTS Make sure answer you mark corresponds to question you are answering Do not make any stray marks Try not to erase or change your answers
