Battalion photo by Colin Crombie How to Do Well on Most Tests Without Knowing Much About the Subject If you feel bogged down by all the studying you must do to pre pare for tests, stop and think how it would be if all your tests were a breeze and you were able to spend more time really enjoying college life. Sound impossible? Not any more. While teaching education at several New York colleges and universities. Dr. Bernard Feder — who has a Ph.D. in education and is presently working as an educa tional consultant — discovered the secret of how to beat the testing system. 15 years ago. Dr. Feder began a one-man crusade to get other educators to improve their tests. He had found that virtually all teacher-prepared and even most standardized tests were poorly constructed and failed to measure what they claimed to measure. Dr. Feder was very outspoken against the test-making methods being used by the educational sys tem in America. But they wouldn't listen. In his frustration. Dr. Feder decided that if he couldn't change the system from within then he would try to help students beat the system from without. He had felt all along that many students were not getting an even chance at the educational and voc ational opportunities they desired because of the unreliable tests that were being used to determine which doors were open to them. Dr. Feder reasoned that if the same errors test-makers refused to avoid were made known to stu dents, perhaps they could earn higher test scores. This proved to be a startling discovery. He had al ready uncovered every conceiva ble test flaw through years of studying and preparing tests. He was then able to transform all these test flaws into clues and giveaways which could easily be recognized by anyone. When Dr. Feder shared these test-taking secrets with some of his students, he was amazed at the high test scores these students were able to get even though many of them had a very limited understanding of the subject they were being tested on. Up till now. Dr. Feder had only revealed, these test-taking secrets to a few friends and former stu dents. But he has just published them in a book to enable students everywhere to beat the system he has tried so hard to change. This unique book contains a broad range of surprising and easy-to- use exam techniques. Here are some of the highlights of Dr. Feder's book: • How to guess intelligently on any test. • The key words and terms you should be aware of in short- answer tests. • How to construct a formula you can't remember while faking a test. • How to use the test itself as a source of information. • How to successfully play the odds on true-false tests. (For example, four out of five state ments containing “alT' are false.) • The surefire way to go about answering matching questions and how to find the built-in clues. • How to recognize and correctly answer multiple-choice ques tions that don't require any specific learned knowledge. • How to get maximum credit on an essay question by writing the right kind of nonsense. • What to write if you know vir tually nothing about an essay question. After you have learned these test-taking secrets, you will find yourself almost looking forward to taking tests. And tests will no longer seem like obstacles to your achieving success in college, but instead will be your key to higher grades. The ability to perform well on tests is not only an educational ac complishment, but a social and psychological one as well. As a successful test-taker you will be praised by your teachers and pro fessors and esteemed by your classmates. You will build a posi tive self-image and a foundation of confidence that will help to shape your future. TTie little effort you apply to learning these test-taking secrets will pay off far more handsomely than the effort to learn any of your school subjects. And once you are a truly skilled test-taker, you will be able to beat the system time and time again.
