Examination Quotes

Designing well-written tests still remains a challenging task. Some complex questions may lose clarity causing difficulties in providing meaningful answers. Basically, questions should be designed in such a way that each well-prepared student can easily give a correct answer.

Aiming to check a new test's difficulty, ask your assistants to solve the test prior to the actual exam. If the results are not satisfactory, reevaluate all ambiguous questions and correct them.

Given a test question, every wrong answer you eliminate from options A - E increases your chances of getting the right answer by 20percent.The more you identify what you should not be doing, the closer you get to the things you should do.

Art is the expression of appreciation of beauty real or imagined. It's also an examination of what it means to be alive with all its varied things, emotions, and experiences. We are forever trying to explain ourselves to the world or the world to ourselves.

It is therefore worthwhile, to search out the bounds between opinion and knowledge; and examine by what measures, in things, whereof we have no certain knowledge, we ought to regulate our assent, and moderate our persuasions.

As writers we live life twice, like a cow that eats its food once and then regurgitates it to chew and digest it again. We have a second chance at biting into our experience and examining it. ...This is our life and it's not going to last forever.

Slow down now, touch what is around you, and out of care and compassion for each moment and detail, put pen to paper and begin to write.

They say life is a test and this is a ridiculous idea! There is neither examination nor examinant!

Stay loose and chuck out the irrational idea of ‘test’ at once!

...he had also acquired a peculiar academic quirk. During exams, he knew all the answers but wasn’t able to successfully map his answers to the right questions. So as soon as an exam started, he simply started putting his answers in the order in which he remembered them.

The teachers acknowledged it and reassured the parents that they’d match his answers against the appropriate questions.
