There are different levels of thinking on which teachers can test. Bloom's Taxonomy is one source from which they may choose these levels. Understanding these levels can help you know how to prepare. Bloom's Taxonomy Knowledge is the first level of thinking. This level requires only that the student be able to recognize or recall the information.
Comprehension is the second level.
Here the learner should be able to discover the relationships between facts, generalizations, definitions, values, and skills. Application is the third level. In application the student solves a lifelike problem that requires the identification of the issue and the selection and use of appropriate generalizations and skills. Analysis is the next level. It expects the student to be able to solve a problem through conscious knowledge of the parts and forms of thinking.
