Understanding the system for giving points in an exam is important as there may be some sections that are worth a lot more points than others. You should consider this when you are planning how much time to spend on each section.
- How many points are given for each answer?
- Spend more time on the answers worth more points.
- Don’t spend a lot of time on answers worth very few points.
- In multiple choice exercises do you get negative points for wrong answers? If not, always answer all the questions, even if you guess.
