True/False Tests

1. Read directions thoroughly and questions carefully.
2. If stuck on a question skip it, move on to the next question, and go back to it at the end of the exam. Later questions may bring to mind the answer to an earlier question.
3. If marking answers on an answer sheet make sure that the answer you are marking goes next to the correct number.
4. A statement is true if every part of the statement is true.
5. A statement is false if any part of the statement is false. One word can turn a true statement into a false statement.
6. Look for absolute and qualifying words.
   
   

   Absolute Words	Words such as only, none, all, always, and never are often false because they do not allow for exceptions.
   Qualifying Words	Words such as many, may, more, some, often, and usually are often true because they do allow for exceptions.

7. Guess at answers as long as there is no penalty.
