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.
