Exams
Subjective exams measure your ability in several areas. Besides recall information,
you must be able to realize content logically and intelligently express yourself in a
clearly understood manner. Subjective test provide opportunity for students to show
their broad knowledge of a subjective area. Answers may be in the form of
paragraphs or lengthy essays.
When your review for an essay exam, concentrate on main ideas rather than
details. Since essay tests are less to a few questions, they are likely to deal with
more important ideas of a subject. Prepare a list of question you thing might be
asked. Write an answer to each of your questions. Rather than writing complete
sentence down your thoughts in outline form. Doing so will help you organize the
information so that you can express yourself clearly.
When you take the test, read through all the questions before you start to write.
Allot time for each question, spending more time for questions worth the most
points. Read each question carefully to determine exactly what is they asked. Pay
attention to words such as define, illustrate, explain, list, compare, and contrast.
Each work require a different type of response. Write a brief outlines of your answer
on scrap paper or the back of the test. Make sure you include all the important
ideas that are within the limits of the question. In other words, do not write more
than is asked for each answer. When you write your answer, keep it specific and as
brief as possible. In the introductory sentence it is often helpful to make a general
statement that includes important points addressed in each question. Such a topic
sentence serves as a framework for your answer. Then use your outline to develop
the main point and subtopics. Add substance to your answer by including as many
facts as possible to support your answer.
Check your paper before you submit it. Look for mistakes in grammar, spelling,
sentence structure, and punctuation. Unless you are certain an answer is wrong, do
not change it. Your answer is an educated guess and is usually your best chance of
answering correctly.
