Allow five (5) to ten (10) minutes at the end to check over your exam. Try to work quickly through the multiple choice and matching sections to give yourself time to check over answers.Work quickly. If you don’t understand how to do a question right away, skip it. Come back to it at the end if you have time. When answering multiple choice questions, first read the question and try to answer it without looking at the options. Then, read the options. If stuck, use the process of elimination, crossing out answers you know aren’t possible right away. Always choose the answer that BEST answers the question. When answering short answer (explanation) questions, first identify and explain the relevant principle in Biology. Define any laws or terms. Then, apply the principle to answer the question posed. Remember, you must answer the short answer questions on a separate page included in your examination package. If you’re done early, make sure to check over your answers once before handing it in. Did you circle all your multiple choice questions? Did you transfer them on the scantron sheet? Are they circled correctly on the sheet? Did you answer all the questions? Check all the pages.? ................
