Taking Objective Tests

Types of objective tests include multiple choice, true-false, and matching. Before the exam, know how you’ll be tested and prepare accordingly. Will you be asked questions that require you to recall specific facts? Understand concepts? Apply what you’ve learned to real-life scenarios?
