General Tips for Taking An Objective Exam

Multiple Choice:

1. Your first time through the exam, answer ONLY the questions about which you are 100% sure.

2. Your second time through, do NOT question any of the answers you marked in the first pass. Only attempt questions you left blank from the first pass, and then, this time, still only answer questions about which you are now sure.

3. Now go on to the True/False and Matching before coming back to step 4.

4. Your third time through, do NOT question any of the answers you marked in the first and second pass. Only attempt questions you left blank from the first and second pass, and then, this time, in the multiple choice questions, attempt to eliminate answers that you think are incorrect. ONLY DO THIS IN YOUR THIRD PASS!!!

5. Say a quick prayer to Jehovah, Jesus, Mohammed, Gnesh, and Zeus before making a wild guess!

True/False:

1. Only attempt the True/False questions AFTER Steps 1 and 2 of Multiple Choice.

2. Your first time through the exam, answer ONLY the questions about which you are 100% sure.

3. Now go on to the Matching, then back to Multiple Choice before coming back to step 4.

1. Now, go back through one more time answering only the questions about which you are now sure.

2. Say a quick prayer to Jehovah, Jesus, Mohammed, Gnesh, and Zeus before making a wild guess!

Matching:

1. Only attempt the True/False questions AFTER Steps 1 and 2 of Multiple Choice, and Step 2 of Ture/False.

2. Do NOT draw lines…once you do your brain will not allow you to see other possibilities.

3. Treat each numbered term as an individual question the first time through, and provide a corresponding letter only if you are 100% sure.

4. Your second time through, do NOT question any of the answers you marked in the first pass. Only attempt questions you left blank from the first pass, and then, this time, still only answer questions about which you are now sure.

5. Go back to Step 4 on Multiple Choice, Step 4 on True/False, then return here and say a quick prayer to Jehovah, Jesus, Mohammed, Gnesh, and Zeus before making a wild guess!
