Pay attention to the wording of the question. Some questions ask for the "true" answer and some ask for the "false" answer (meaning the one that doesn't belong). Examples include:
- Questions looking for the "true" answer may contain phrases or questions such as:
- "Which of the following is…"
- "A ______ is…"
- Questions looking for the "false" answer may contain phrases or questions such as:
- "All of the following…, except…"
- "Which of the following is not…"
No terms are in bold on the test as in the above examples. Each question must be read carefully to assure full understanding of what the question is asking.
- Some questions provide background or basic information necessary to answer the question asked; read all the information provided.
- Several questions may arise from the same information. For example, two or three paragraphs may be the basis for the next three or four questions. Be sure to read the informational paragraphs in their entirety before trying to answer the questions.
- Resist the urge to change the answer to questions to which you have already responded. Your first response is usually the correct response.
- This is NOT a Pass/Fail test. As a reminder, this is simply a tool to help you and your employer plan your technical insurance training so that you can more quickly advance in your career. View this as a positive part of your career development.
