Short answer test
An instructor's primary purpose in
giving a short-answer test is to cover the material.
Go over your notes and the assigned reading:
- Prepare for the test
by studying off of summary sheets
that are packed with information within condensed space.
Try to categorize the material
- Use grammatical clues
within a statement as hints for the correct answer
- If you can think of
several answers
for a blank or short answer question, let the instructor know.
The instructor may give you a clue to the correct answer he/she's
looking for
- A guess made with common
sense
could get you more test points than if you leave an answer blank.
Don't be a smart aleck if you guess
- Write your short answers
in simple, telegraphic sentences.
Packing as much information as you can is more important than
literary style.
