True/False Test Preparation Tips

• There are usually more true answers than fall answers on a true and false test. So if you're going to guess -- guess "true".
  
  
• If there is not penalty for guessing, then guess. You have a fifty fifty change of getting the answer correct.
  
  
• Make sure to read the entire question carefully. Pay attention to keywords and qualifiers that may indicate whether the answer is true or false.
  
  
• Qualifiers include words like "never", "always" and "every". When a question includes one of these qualifiers the statement being proposed in the question must always be true -- which typically means the answer if false.
  
  
• Other qualifiers include words such as "usually", "generally" and "sometimes. When a question includes one of these qualifiers the statement being proposed may be true or false depending on the circumstances. More often than not these qualifiers mean the answer is true.
  
  
• Often a statement may be partially true but not entirely ture. Just because part of statement is true doesn't mean that the answer is true. If any part of the question is false, then the entire statement must be false -- even if there is some truth in the statement.
