493 Advice to the Exam Candidate The correct choice of answer for each question is provided. Accompanying the cor- rect choice is a justifi cation for the choice or an explanation of the correct answer and sometimes of why the other choices are incorrect. The degree of diffi culty var- ies, but not by intentional design. The perception of diffi culty depends on that part of science that the question examines, the level of scientifi c background brought to the course by the student and their level of studious preparation for the examination. There is only one best correct answer for each of the multiple choice questions among the four choices presented. However, there may be more than one correct answer. You must choose the best one. In an examination, never leave a question unanswered. If you cannot decide on an answer, guess at it (after eliminating any choices that you deem to be incorrect). That is, you will be rewarded for the ability to decrease the number of choices from which you are guessing, from 4 to 3 or 2. In marking multiple choice questions, I suggest that that one mark be allocated for a correct answer and that a quarter of a mark be deducted for a wrong answer or an unanswered question. Deducting a quarter mark will reduce the score that would be gained by selecting an answer from the four choices purely at random (i.e. guess- ing), from about 25 % to about 6 %. Not to deduct a quarter mark is, in my opinion, unsound. Be aware of questions that are asked in the negative. That is, those that have NOT true; or FALSE; or INCORRECT; or EXCEPT one, in the stem. In this case you are seeking a statement that is wrong in order to answer the question. Do not be intimi- dated by arithmetical calculations. The calculation itself will be simple. Deciding what to add, multiply or divide with what, is the tricky part. Some questions have been paraphrased from those published in the third edition of the book Human Science: Matter and Energy in the Human Body (Caon, M., & Hickman, R. (2003), Crawford House Australia Publishing, Belair South Australia), and are used with the authors’ permission. [Show More]
