Then it is helpful to identify the complexity level of the question (high, moderate, or low) so that you can know how much time to spend thinking about the question. Low-Level Complexity (LC) Right there questions you can typically point to the answer in the lesson. Ask you to recognize or recall information Moderate-Level Complexity (MC) Goes beyond just remembering ex. cause and effect relationships, determining why something is significant High-Level Complexity (HC) Requires more thinking, often have multiple steps, ask you to think abstractly (often have a stimuli like a passage to read or map to analyze)
8 Complexity coding: LC, MC, HC Note in multiple-choice questions, the answer choices are called distractors because there is not supposed to be one clear answer. A well-written multiple-choice question will have answer choices that all look correct. It is up to you to think and reason your way to the correct answer. TIP: Sometimes items will ask you to apply what you learned in the course AND what is in question to determine the best answer. To successfully answer multiple choice questions, follow this plan of attack. Step 1: Read the stem (question) carefully. Step 2: Look for key words in the stem that will help you answer the question. Step 3: Try to answer the question or complete the sentence before looking at the answer choices. Step 4: Read each answer choice. Step 5: Eliminate the choices you know are incorrect. Step 6: Choose the BEST answer. Multiple Choice Map Items Step 1: Read the stem carefully. This will help guide your study of the map. Step 2: Analyze the map and identify the key elements (title, labels, key/legend, compass rose, scale) needed to answer the question. Step 3: Read each answer choice, eliminate the choices you know are incorrect, and choose the BEST answer. TIP: Sometimes items ask you to apply what you learned in the course and what you can see on the map to determine the best answer. Multiple Choice Document/Quotation Items Step 1: Read the stem and any information provided carefully. Determine the context of the document (who, what, when, why ) Step 2: Carefully read the text, using context clues to help you understand difficult or unfamiliar words. Step 3: Summarize what you read and apply to the question. Step 4: Read each answer choice, eliminate the choices you know are incorrect, and choose the BEST answer. Multiple Choice Graph/Chart Items Step 1: Read the stem and any information provided carefully.
9 Step 2: Review the diagram, table or graph to determine the subject and purpose. Is there a title? What labels can I see? Are there trends in the information presented? What is the relationship between the information shown? Step 3: Summarize what you can tell from the diagram and apply to the question. Step 4: Read each answer choice, eliminate the choices you know are incorrect, and choose the BEST answer. To successfully answer short response questions, follow this plan of attack. Step 1: Read the stem and any information provided carefully. Verify the length expectation for your response. (Note a paragraph is 5+ sentences.) Step 2: Plan out your answer before you start writing. Step 3: Restate the question, answer the question, and provide details from the course to support your response. Use terms from the course appropriately. Restate Answer Support Support (include at least 2 facts to support your answer) Step 4: Reread your response to ensure that you have answered the question clearly and with support.
