  • 2. 

    During an exam, you should

    • Answer the questions that you know the answers to first.

    • Go through the questions as fast as possible.

    • Check off the questions you have answered.

    • Start with the essay question.

    Correct Answer
    A. Answer the questions that you know the answers to first.
    Explanation
    During an exam, it is advisable to answer the questions that you know the answers to first. This strategy allows you to gain confidence and momentum by quickly completing the questions you are familiar with. By doing so, you can ensure that you have answered a significant portion of the exam correctly, which can boost your overall score. Additionally, tackling the easier questions first can save time for more challenging ones later on, maximizing your chances of completing the entire exam within the given time limit.

    When you see superlatives, such as Always, Never and Most as part of the answer choices in a multiple-choice format, it is best to choose one of them because they are typically the correct choices.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Superlatives such as "Always," "Never," and "Most" are not always the correct answer choices in a multiple-choice format. While they may sometimes be correct, it is not a guarantee. The use of superlatives can often indicate an extreme or absolute statement, which may not always be true in every situation. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider all answer choices and evaluate their accuracy, rather than solely relying on the presence of superlatives.

    The first thing to do when getting ready to read a textbook is to

    • Relax.

    • Turn on some soft music.

    • Look over your notes.

    • Turn off your cell phone.

    Correct Answer
    A. Relax.
    Explanation
    When getting ready to read a textbook, the first thing to do is to relax. This is because being in a relaxed state of mind allows for better focus and concentration while reading. It helps to reduce any stress or anxiety that may hinder comprehension and retention of the material. By taking a moment to relax before starting to read, it creates a conducive environment for effective learning.

    Cramming before an exam is not effective because

    • You may lose some sleep.

    • There is a lot of information to remember.

    • You may not have enough time.

    • Our brain does not transfer the information from short to long term memory.

    Correct Answer
    A. Our brain does not transfer the information from short to long term memory.
    Explanation
    Cramming before an exam is not effective because our brain does not transfer the information from short to long term memory. When we cram, we are trying to memorize a large amount of information in a short period of time. However, our brain is not able to effectively process and store this information in our long term memory. Instead, the information is only temporarily stored in our short term memory, making it difficult to recall during the exam. This is why it is more effective to study and review material over a longer period of time to allow for proper encoding and transfer of information into long term memory.

    The best way to remember a series of steps if you are a visual learner is to use the ­­­­­­­­­­­­______ method of note taking.

    • Split-page

    • Mapping

    • Outline

    • Hierarchical

    Correct Answer
    A. Mapping
    Explanation
    The best way to remember a series of steps if you are a visual learner is to use the mapping method of note taking. This method involves creating a visual representation, such as a diagram or flowchart, that shows the relationship between different steps or concepts. By visually organizing the information, visual learners can better understand and remember the sequence of steps. This method allows them to see the connections and patterns between the steps, making it easier to recall the information when needed.

    The main advantage of taking practice tests is

    • That it allows you to identify what you do not know.

    • That it helps reduce the anxiety of the actual exam.

    • That it reinforces what you already know.

    • That it allows you to get prepared.

    Correct Answer
    A. That it allows you to identify what you do not know.
    Explanation
    Taking practice tests allows you to identify what you do not know. By testing your knowledge and skills in a simulated exam environment, you can pinpoint areas of weakness and focus on improving them. This helps you to identify gaps in your understanding and knowledge, allowing you to allocate your study time more effectively. Additionally, by identifying what you do not know, you can tailor your study plan to address those specific areas, leading to better preparation and ultimately improving your performance in the actual exam.

    The outline note taking system places information in two distinct places on a sheet of paper.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The outline note taking system does not place information in two distinct places on a sheet of paper. Instead, it organizes information hierarchically, with main ideas at the top and supporting details indented underneath. This system helps to visually represent the relationships between different pieces of information and makes it easier to review and study the material later on.

    What is the order of the SQR4 reading method?

    • Survey, question, read, rephrase, recite and review.

    • Question, survey, read, recite, review and rephrase.

    • Survey, question, read, recite, review and rephrase.

    • Survey, question, read, recite, rephrase and review.

    Correct Answer
    A. Survey, question, read, recite, rephrase and review.
    Explanation
    The correct order of the SQR4 reading method is survey, question, read, recite, rephrase, and review. This method involves surveying the material to get an overview, generating questions to actively engage with the material, reading the material thoroughly, reciting or summarizing the information to reinforce understanding, rephrasing the information in your own words to enhance comprehension, and finally reviewing the material to solidify learning. This systematic approach helps improve reading comprehension and retention of information.

    Ancillary materials refers to

    • Practice tests and questions.

    • Materials available from your teacher.

    • Charts and illustrations.

    • Questions from the professor.

    Correct Answer
    A. Practice tests and questions.
    Explanation
    Ancillary materials typically refer to supplementary resources that support the main content or learning material. In this context, practice tests and questions are considered ancillary materials because they provide additional opportunities for students to practice and assess their understanding of the subject matter. These resources are often designed to reinforce the concepts covered in the main materials and help students prepare for exams or assessments.
