Develop Answering Strategies with Students Print this page Save this page
Help students recognize successful techniques for answering test questions. Demonstrate a “cover-up” strategy by covering the answers and trying to answer a question before looking at the choices. Practice treating each answer choice as a true or false response and selecting the “most true” answer. Another strategy is to rephrase the question as a statement using the answer in the sentence. For example, the student would rephrase the question, “Which of the following is a part of the presidential election process?” using the choices available; “The Dartmouth College is…” or “The Electoral College is part of the presidential election process.” Each student needs to decide which strategies work best for him or her.
