ABSTRACT:
A method of teaching a person how to detect, while taking an actual or practice multiple-choice examination, answers that are more likely, in comparison with other answers, to be incorrect, is disclosed. This method aids an examinee in choosing those answers that are most suspicious of being in error and which should therefore be rechecked before any other answers. This method gives the examinee an opportunity to correct the suspect answers and to improve his or her score to the maximum extent possible according to the level of his or her knowledge within the constraints of existing time limitations. Moreover, in the case of a practice test, this method assures that test preparation will be more focused on those areas of the tested subject where the person is weakest. Additionally, a method of teaching a person how to eliminate, while answering a question on an actual or practice multiple-choice examination, answer-choices that are more likely, in comparison with other possible alternative answer-choices, to be incorrect, is disclosed. The method enhances the ability of an examinee to receive partial credit for partial knowledge and to obtain scores commensurate with his or her knowledge of the tested subject while discouraging blind guessing. Moreover, an educational game helpful for practicing skills useful for taking a multiple-choice test is disclosed.
