Learning how to maximize your scores on true-false tests is simple and will significantly increase your test scores. Although many students say that they prefer true-false tests, they can be very tricky. True-false sections remain the staple of many teacher-constructed tests. Here are the tips to "ace" any true-false section on your next test.
1. Read the true-false statement twice before choosing an answer. Test-takers frequently say that this strategy helps eliminate rushing though a test and answering impulsively.
2. True-false tests can be very tricky. Look first at the statement as being true, then if any part of that statement is false, then the whole statement must be false.
3. True-false tests tend to have slightly more true statements than false. Therefore, if you must guess, guess "true."
4. The longer the true-false statement, the greater is the chance that it is false because it only takes one part of the statement to be false to make the whole statement false.
Example
The moon orbits an average of 240,000 miles away from the earth, has craters and mountains, and is made of cheese.
5. Statements that show cause-effect tend to be false, unless an Exception Word is used. Words such as the following:
because, caused, resulted in, is the reason that
indicate cause-effect relationships.
Example
Only one US president has been elected four times, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and this caused financial chaos.
6. Extreme statements tend to be false.
Example
Japanese automobiles are all more reliable and cost less than American automobiles.
7. Finally, make sure to guess, if not sure of your answer choice.
