Was this helpful? How can we improve it? So much of effective test-taking stems from how you prepare for the test. You want to study so that you know the content inside and out, forwards and backwards, etc., and then be able to take what you know and apply it to unfamiliar scenarios/problems/questions. Then, you want to take this learning you've done, and use it to prepare for the type of test you're going to have: you'll prepare and practice the content differently for an essay test than you will for a multiple choice test or a problem-solving test. Once you've engaged in this multi-level preparation, it can be helpful to have test-taking strategies that are specific to the types of questions you'll be asked. Read on for strategies you can use in multiple choice tests, essay question tests, and problem solving tests, too. MULTIPLE CHOICE TESTS Multiple choice tests can feel tricky sometimes. Because they're designed to make sure you know the information, these tests often include more than just recognition, vocabulary, and knowledge-level questions; they often require you to compute, to apply concepts to new situations, and to think critically about what you've learned in the course. You have to know the course material backwards and forwards, and be able to take what may seem like unfamiliar material on the test and apply what you've learned to that point in order to deduce your answer. So yes, the way that you practice what you've learned and how you prepare for the test will matter. But there are also techniques and strategies for taking multiple choice tests that can help you in the moment, too: On your first pass through the test, don't guess on questions. Answer the questions you know, and mark the ones you don't know or are unsure of so that you can revisit them later. If, on a second visit to the question, you’re still unsure of the answer, try out some problem-solving strategies:
If you still have no idea what the answer to the question is, you can try some strategic guessing. Please note: the following guessing strategies aren't meant to be used if you already know the answer, or if you can make an educated guess!
ESSAY TESTS/QUESTIONS When you know that your test is going to include, or be entirely comprised of, essay questions, it will be important for you to prepare for these types of questions by practicing the essay-writing act. Here are a few ways you might think about preparing/practicing for the test:
When you step into the test, think about how you might engage in the following strategies as you work to complete your essay question answers: During the exam:
After the exam, once it's been returned to you, make time to go over it! Take note of what you did right, and also note what you missed and why. Reviewing the exam can save you hours of worry before the next test because you're making yourself consciously aware of your knowledge gaps and at the same time reassuring yourself about your strengths. If you don’t understand the score and/or comments that you received, talk to your professor — it’s the fastest way to identify what was missing or misunderstood, and to become more effective, not only in your future exams but in class as you continue to learn the material. PROBLEM SOLVING TESTS As with each of the above test-types, it will be important for you to practice the types of problems you might be asked to solve on the exam. And not just once but many, many times. This kind of problem-solving practice gets you into test-taking shape because you're engaging in the repeated practice of
As you feel more and more comfortable with the content, it's important to practice with problems that are different than the ones you've already seen in the homework or the book.
