Are you test wise?
You better be. First, be-
cause end-of- term tests are
ABOUND the corner. But more
than that, this is becoming
q nation Of test takers.
We must take tests not only
to advance in school, enter
and remain in college-but to
get jobs and win promotion.
Practically everywhere we
turn someone is trying to
measure our brainpower, our
potentialities, our general
knowledge or our specific
knowledge.
And once we've been tested
for better or worse-we are
stuck with our grades.
Some Tests Tricky
Since this is the situation,
1t pays to know something
about these tests, and q few
Of their secrets.
OF course, tests don't tell
the whole story. We all have
heard Of people with low los
who succeeded. And there are
many people with high los
who do not. But most Of the
people with high scores do
better than most Of the peo-
pie with low scores. As a rule,
the spoils go to the good test
takers.
What about these tests?
One of the best, most accu-
rate and frequently used is
the multiple-choic test. The
student chooses the best, or
the correct answer from four
or five possible answers.
One of the big objections
to such tests is that usually
each alternate answer Is so
Worded that a slight miSread-
ing of the original statement
or question will make the
choice seem to be true al
though it is false. One mis-
take in q decimal point or
one added word will make q
wrong answer appear to be
right. The test makers shy

away from including choices
that are too obviously wrong.
An unSuspecting test taker
will skim the question and
then go on to finding the
answer. He viii read q choice
and check back to the uues-
ton to see whether it is right.
Now his mind is "tricked"
into the very mistake that
the test maker thought would
be made.
This happens because we
are accustomed to reading
true statements and our
minds sometimes fill in words
or leave out words to make q
statement appear to be what
we are expecting to read.
Three Vital Secrets
I have known students to
become expert at taking null
tiple choice tests by Just
knowing those secrets and
following these simple steps:
o Read the question care
fully BEFORE looking at the
list of possible answers. Know
what the answer should be
like.
o Hold the question firmly
In mind while checking for
the correct answer. Refuse to
be tricked.
Q When you've answered
q question, STOP thinking
about it. Clear your mind
before you go on to the next
question.
One student, having missed

questions on an economics

scheme. On the next test, he

-"I will be a Jew so long as

Madam Markova took up

Conversation Fluent
MY conversation with Mr.,
Ehrenburg was conducted in
German, in which he is fluent,
My interpreter. who spoke only
English and French beside Rus
sian, could therefore not al
ways understand what the
writer was saying. This may
be the reason why Mr.. Ehren-
burg showed little reticence in
answering delicate questions,

type may motivate some pref

found acting in such a man
ner, he would doubtless be
prosecuted by the authorities,
It is however, difficult to es-
tablish the motive clearly in
such cases.
But, even though ], myself
don't believe in religion, I be-
lieve that it should be tolerated,
And the government seems to
have arrived at the same con-
clusion."
Ban Report Denied
Asked about the alleged ban
on the baking of matzoh-the
Jewish ritual unleavened bread
Mr.. Ehrenburg explained
There is no such ban. On the

everything and bake matzohs

after we had discussed the sub

definitely against it and tries
to curb it.
"In spite of this official
stance three forms of anti
Semitism persist in everyday
life," Mr.. Ehrenburg said. Il
call them the kitchen, sub

kitchen variety stems from
our housing shortage, which is
still rather acute, even though
the government is trying to do
something about 1t.

"The scarcity Of adequate
