Exam Literacy

Answer the Question

Misreading an exam question can lose you marks and may be the difference between receiving a D/C or a B/A.

Perhaps the most important piece of advice to remember and apply when taking is exams is to answer the question that you have been asked.

Practice:
  • Reading the WHOLE question
  • Identifying Command Words (Describe, DIscuss, Explain, Calculate, Evaluate) and know what the words are asking you to do.
  • Identifying key words that further tell you what to answer.
