1. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the best first step when a question includes a long passage?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Read the question and identify what information you need from the passage.

  1. Identify the skill: Determine whether the question asks about reading, language, mathematics, science, evidence, or assessment reasoning.
  2. Apply the skill: Knowing the task helps focus attention on relevant evidence.
  3. Check the answer: Confirm that the selected choice is supported by the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation.

Knowing the task helps focus attention on relevant evidence.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

If two answers seem possible, what should a student do?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Return to the passage, data, or conditions and eliminate the less-supported choice.

  1. Identify the skill: Determine whether the question asks about reading, language, mathematics, science, evidence, or assessment reasoning.
  2. Apply the skill: The best choice is the one supported by the provided information.
  3. Check the answer: Confirm that the selected choice is supported by the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation.

The best choice is the one supported by the provided information.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which practice habit best improves performance on timed sections?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Use short timed sets and review why each missed answer was wrong.

  1. Identify the skill: Determine whether the question asks about reading, language, mathematics, science, evidence, or assessment reasoning.
  2. Apply the skill: Timed practice builds pacing and review identifies specific skills to improve.
  3. Check the answer: Confirm that the selected choice is supported by the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation.

Timed practice builds pacing and review identifies specific skills to improve.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What should a student do when a question remains difficult after a reasonable attempt?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Mark it, move on, and return if time remains.

  1. Identify the skill: Determine whether the question asks about reading, language, mathematics, science, evidence, or assessment reasoning.
  2. Apply the skill: Moving on protects time for questions the student can answer more efficiently.
  3. Check the answer: Confirm that the selected choice is supported by the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation.

Moving on protects time for questions the student can answer more efficiently.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Why should a student check units in a mathematics problem?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Units can show whether the calculation answers the question being asked.

  1. Identify the skill: Determine whether the question asks about reading, language, mathematics, science, evidence, or assessment reasoning.
  2. Apply the skill: Units help distinguish quantities such as distance, area, time, and rate.
  3. Check the answer: Confirm that the selected choice is supported by the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation.

Units help distinguish quantities such as distance, area, time, and rate.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Which note-taking method is useful for a science passage with several experiments?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Record each experiment variable, result, and conclusion.
