Study Session: Test Writing Strategies SNC1D

General Strategies – MC Tests 0 Read the question with the choices covered and try to answer it on your own. 0 Look for your answer among possible choices Example: 2. How many neutrons are there in an atom of fluorine? a) 9 b) 10 c) 19 d) 28

General Strategies – MC Tests 0 HIGHLIGHT key words: e.g. “not”, “all”, “never”, “except”, “never”, “always” etc. Example: 19. Rutherford’s gold foil experiment consisted of beaming positively charged particles at thin gold foil. Most of these particles went straight through the gold foil, but a few of them were deflected. Which of these statements could Rutherford not have inferred based on his observations? a) Most of the atom is empty space. b) The centre of the atom has a positive charge. c) Electrons exist in orbits, and can jump to and from different orbits. d) The centre of the atom is very dense (a lot of mass in a small space).

General Strategies – MC Tests 0 HIGHLIGHT key words: e.g. “not”, “all”, “never”, “except”, “never”, “always” etc. Another Example: 4. All of the following are properties of magnesium. Identify the physical property. a) Magnesium burns in air with a brilliant white flame. b) Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce a gas. c) Magnesium is a good conductor of electricity. d) Magnesium combines with nitrogen to form a black powder.

General Strategies – MC Tests 0 Look at all the possible answers before choosing 0 Use a process of elimination to narrow down your choices 25. The most reactive elements in the periodic table are found in: a) Groups 1 and 18. b) Groups 2 and 15. c) Groups 3 and 4. d) Groups 1 and 17.

General Strategies – MC Tests 0 Go back and circle/highlight questions you have no answer to (or don’t know how to answer) 0 Read through the questions 3 times.

General Strategies – MC Tests 0 Don’t keep changing your answer 0 If you get stuck, ‘go with your gut’ NEVER leave a question blank! You have a 25% shot at getting it right!

Good Study Strategies

0 Use of colour 0 Make a concept map 0 Use mnemonic 0 Regular review (no cramming) 0 Making connections to real-world applications 0 Developing Analogies 0 Drawing a diagram 0 Explaining to someone else 0 Acting it out
