Practice Multiple Choice Test Feedback: Question 7

Marked exams can provide valuable feedback because

(a) they can help you zero in on effective study techniques
(b) they can help you focus on important content in the course
(c) they can help you decide what levels of thinking you should practice for future exams
(d) all of the above
(e) (a) and (b) above
(f) (b) and (c) above
(g) (a) and (c) above
(h) none of the above

Questions like this can take away advantages that students associate with multiple choice questions, such as the ability to use the process of elimination in choosing the most likely alternative, or the ability to use reasoning to come to a logical choice. If your prof is in the habit of including alternatives such as (d) to (h) in this question, you must study for meticulous recall of details. The correct alternative is (d).

Level of learning: Comprehension. This material is taken from the handout, but has been rephrased enough that you would have to comprehend it to answer the question.
