CHAPTER 21
So Many Choices, So Little Time…
PRODUCT PREVIEW
When your teacher announces that a test will be multiple choice, what’s your reaction? Relief? Do you prefer a multiple choice test over an essay test? Many students do. There’s a perception among students that multiple choice tests are easier than essay tests. After all, multiple choice tests don’t require a student to generate the answer in their brain. The answer to the question is right in front of them. All they have to do is find it and check a box or bubble in a circle, right? Wrong! From knowing how to study for a multiple choice test, to using a scannable answer form, to deciding between two answers both of which seem right, multiple choice tests have their own unique challenges. In this chapter, you’ll explore strategies and techniques for success on multiple choice and true/false tests…
