Reading through the quiz may give clues as to which ideas should be discussed at length and which can be deferred to another answer. Reading through the quiz will also give you a notion of which questions might be easier for you to do first. Sometimes, completing these questions can jog your memory or help to organize thoughts for a more difficult question. Budget your time carefully setting a time limit for answering. You can come back to questions later if you have time.
Some questions call for summarization of information while others require more creative thinking.
You need to learn to distinguish between these. Focus on key words such as define, compare, contrast, evaluate, discuss, describe. These can cue you to how your response should be organized. Always look for choices within the question. Many times in comparison or discussion questions, the questioner will establish a scenario and ask that it be evaluated.
