The "Except" Questions

A common area of complaint about state tests is the use of "except" questions.

You can't do anything about it except prepare for it.  


When your exam starts, "mind-dump" this information onto your scrap paper so you have it next to you for the entire exam.  It will help you make sure you're looking for the right answer.  It will eliminate doubt and frustration.


Confidence and efficiency during the test is a big factor towards success.


All the following are ...


True   about  .........   Except    =     False

False  about  .........   Except    =     True
Not True   ..............   Except    =     True
Not False  ..............   Except    =     False
