Predict Questions on Teacher Tests

In summary, predicting the types of questions teachers will ask on tests is not an easy task. However, it is important to focus on understanding the core concepts rather than trying to outguess the teacher. Most questions will cover material from the relevant chapters, but they may also require you to apply your knowledge in new ways.

I assume we are talking about a math test, since we're in the math forum. :biggrin:
It's not easy, but in my experience from my school:
- The teacher will include questions covering all the things you're suppose to know from the chapters the test is on. (duh)
- Most questions are not too hard, the teacher does not pick the hardest questions he can find from every chapter.
- Often, the test will include a number of tasks that you can't solve directly by simply applying a single formula or such, but rather will be designed so that you have to use what you have already learned in new ways.

And it's more likely solution will be number like 7/9 then 16541616313/54687435153435... :wink:

If you have a good teacher then the only predictor is whether you understand the core concepts. He or she will formulate questions to test whether you truly understand them. Simply parroting responses to specific problems you've seen before won't cut it.

Rather than trying to outguess the prof I highly recommend investing your time in comprehending the principles and concepts involved.
