Frequently Asked Questions
What are some test-taking tips?
Test-takers are advised to keep in mind these general pointers about
taking exams:
- Read all of the questions on the first page of the test so you realize
that you do know the material. In other words, relax.
- Read each question thoroughly. Don't assume you know what's being
asked.
- Eliminate implausible answers and move quickly past the obviously
wrong choices.
- Keep in mind that an answer may be a correct statement in itself but
may not answer the question. Two answers may say exactly the opposite
things or may be very similar. Read them again to decide what makes
one correct and the other wrong.
- ASQ does not subtract points for incorrect answers. Answer every question.
There is no penalty for guessing, and you have a 25% chance of getting
it right.
- Go through and answer the questions you know. Then go through and
read the ones you're unsure of. Mark those you're still uncomfortable
with. You will narrow the field down to just a few questions you will
need to spend more time on. These are the questions you might want to
use your reference books for.
- Be aware of the time available for the exam and the remaining time
as you work through the exam.
Do not double-bubble your response for a question. If you do, it will
be scored as a "blank". For example, if you think that both A and C are correct
answers, bubble in only one answer and use the comment sheet supplied
with your test to point out why you think both A and C are correct. Your
comments will be reviewed before results are reported.
