Additional Notes about EPME Tests 1. Expect scenarios to include key terms and with the concept of the correct answer, as well as terms and definitions associated with the concepts used in the plausible distracters. To be successful on our testsdefinitions associated , students must be able to differentiate between the correct answer and the plausible distracters…put another way, our tests clearly separate those who know from those who do not know lesson concepts. 2. Explain questions are just above the knowledge level of learning. To get these questions correct, students need to be able to recognize key terms, phrases, and words (including synonyms). 3. By design, plausible distracters might be partially correct. That is why, with few exceptions, we use the words MOST or BEST in the problem statement/question. Your challenge is to know the concepts well enough to differentiate between answers that sound correct or that are partially correct and the BEST answer. 4. Give Example (Illustrate) questions are more difficult than Explain questions for three reasons. a. First, scenarios are more than simple explanations of a concept. Although the scenarios still contains key words, terms and phrases, students must be able to recognize ―how the concept is being used‖ (i.e. interpret). b. Second, unlike most K-12 and college tests, and with few exceptions, Give Example (Illustrate) questions only include some elements or steps of a concept. This is why just memorizing steps is not enough; students must recognize and understand the supporting information for each concept and know whether the actions, decisions, or behaviors portrayed are appropriate/ inappropriate and/or effective/ineffective. c. Third, understanding the supporting information for concepts is also vitally important because Give Example and Predict test questions use this information in the scenario. However, the words and phrases used are almost never exactly as they appear in the student guide. For example, one of the steps of the learning process is ―Listen and Participate in Class‖ primary effective rules for succesful learning.
