Answering easy questions first is the most effective technique. If you stumble over hard questions for too long a time, you may not be able to complete the exam. Objective examination questions usually contain one or more key words.

A key word or groups of words are those on which the truth or falsity of a statement hinges. Learn to pick out the key words in the statement that define the meaning. If a statement has two clauses, one of which is false, the whole statement is false. Commonly, two-statement true-false questions are either both true or both false. Multiple choice questions are basically truefalse questions arranged in groups.

Generally, only one alternative is correct. Your job is to pick the alternative that's more true than the others. Read multiple-choice questions the same way as for true-false. Eliminate obvious false choices. The techniques used to answer true-false and multiple choice questions apply to matching questions as well.

Always scan the entire list of alternatives before matching any. As in the other types of questions, try to identify key words in each list and test them. Completion questions call for you to provide a word or phrase. When you run into completion questions, select your words carefully. If you do not know the answer, give it your best guess, as frequently such responses get at least partial credit.

Planning your time in answering essay questions is more significant than in objective type tests. The common rule isn't to get carried away on one or two questions to the extent that you can't answer those other questions in the time allotted.

Read through the entire examination first. Get a feel for the questions you're expected to answer. If the exam permits you to choose from a number of questions, make sure to number your answers precisely to match the questions.

When you follow directions for an essay exam, pay attention to the key words the teacher has included. Such words as "list," "describe," "compare and contrast," and "outline" have special meaning.

Do not "write around" the question but answer it directly. If a question asks you to list something, do not write a narrative about it. Answering essay questions directly is always the most effective policy.

After running down the list of questions to be answered, choose the ones you know most about. A beneficial idea is to develop an outline of your answers. The outline will help you recall crucial ideas and facts to be included in your answer.

Good handwriting is an absolute necessity. If your cursive writing is really difficult to read, try printing instead. Most teachers appreciate clear handwriting. Grammar, punctuation, and spelling also matter. Well-written grammatically correct responses almost always receive higher grades than poorly written grammatically incorrect answers, even though the answers themselves are the same?
