Find the verbal clues
![Page 19: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
"Always" and "Never"
are rarely the correct answer.
Guess among the remaining alternatives
![Page 20: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
An alternative that says something "may" be the case
is nearly always correct, if for no other reason than that anything is possible
![Page 21: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Is the phraseology in the stem repeated in some of
the alternatives? If so, the keyed answer is
probably among that group.
![Page 22: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Check the grammatical connection between
the stem and the alternatives
![Page 23: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
If two alternatives are logical opposites,
or are mutually exclusive, one of them
is likely to be the correct answer
![Page 24: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Recognize ranking and ordering
![Page 25: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Find the modus operandi
![Page 26: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Look for mechanical clues
![Page 27: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
When dealing with lists of numbers if one of the
numbers is displaced from an otherwise normal
progression, it is probably the keyed answer
![Page 28: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Look for clear differences in the amount
of qualification or effort at precession
of wording
![Page 29: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Sometimes all the information needed to
answer the question is given in the stem,
particularly if it contains two or more sentences
![Page 30: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Often the stem of one question gives
away the answer to another question
![Page 31: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Play the odds

Know the question types
![Page 34: Tips on Test Taking: National Board Type Questions](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649f285503460f94c414d4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Guiding Principles of Education - Definition of LearningYou are the Instructor
Learning is a product of what learners already know, the information they encounter, and what they do as they learn.

Guiding Principles of EducationYou Are the Instructor
Learning is created out of the learners' points of view, their knowledge, their approaches to learning, and the information they experience.

Guiding Principles of EducationYou are the Instructor
It is not so much knowledge and skill acquisition as it is the learners' ability to construct meaning. Knowledge is created, not simply acquired, and the search for meaning is the engine that drives the learning process

Guiding PrinciplesYou are the Instructor
Students should be active participants in the learning process. They should be given opportunities to question, probe, and interact with their instructors and other students. The ultimate goal is to have the student gain a personal understanding of the subject and how the knowledge and skills learned apply to practical situations.

Guiding PrinciplesYou are the Instructor
Courses should provide a "real-life" context for the presentation of course content. This means that presentations, discussions, and stations should all reflect reality, using case scenarios, role modeling and simulation, and problem based learning. Students should interact not only with one another and their instructors, but with the material they are learning in a course.

Guiding PrinciplesYou Are the Instructor
Students know much about content and skills prior to their taking the course. This basic knowledge should be the framework for the course. Instructors should build on this framework of knowledge during the student course, enabling students to take what they already know and enhance it through the experiences of the course.

Guiding PrinciplesYou Are the Instructor
Some detailed information about content must be given to students in a "lecture" format; however, this should be done in an interactive way. This involves questioning students to elicit information about their past practices and knowledge, sharing information about cases they have managed that relate to the topic of the presentation, and engaging students in conversation and discussion, while accomplishing the objectives of each presentation.

Guiding PrinciplesYou Are the Instructor
Teaching must be "case-based." Psychomotor skills should be taught in the context of whole person. Students should be given ample opportunity to interact among themselves and with the instructor at each skills station, to discuss, and "role play" through scenarios. The primary goal should be to show the relationship between the skills learned and the ultimate successful management of a real life situation.

Guiding PrinciplesYou are the Instructor
Instructors should evaluate student participation, knowledge and skill throughout the course and provide opportunities for remediation throughout the course.

Guiding PrinciplesYou are the instructor
Instructors should be good role models, not only in adherence to content and methodology, but also in their demonstration of effective teaching that encompasses these "guiding principles."
