SPI eCourse - Test-Taking Strategies
The ability to perform well on a multiple choice test is a skill that requires both fore-thought and practice. In this module, some very unique techniques are taught which will significantly change your test taking approach, as well as improve your test taking abilities. Within this module we will discuss concepts which include how best to read a test question, how to approach answering a test question, types of questions, distracter types, dealing with questions of inversion, logic and reasoning skills, and intelligent use of scrap paper. Additionally, specific test questions are given which allow for direct application of these concepts.
