A teacher's primary purpose
in giving a
short-answer test is to test whether you have a foundation of
knowing the material, usually factual.
Prepare for the test
Develop summary sheets
of the course material information.
Focus on key words, events, vocabulary, concepts
Organize and categorize the material, then review
When taking the test
- Respond directly to the question or directive
Focus on keywords and ideas called for
Eliminate those that do not directly address the information
requested in the test item
- Respond and write concise answers
Connect key facts into short sentences according to the test
instructions
- If you can think of several answers
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
