Tests are important. 22
Many things count when the final grade is decided, such as oral presentations and term reports. Some teachers take account of class recitation when figuring out a grade, and the final grade in certain courses may depend to quite an extent on the term paper. 23 There are many kinds of tests. In college, the test may be all objective questions, all essay questions or a combination of both. A final exam in college can last two or three hours and demand a lot in the way of good skills and solid information. 24 Some basically good students have trouble with tests. Two causes of this are nervousness and lack of knowledge of test-taking techniques. 25 If you have prepared carefully and if you know how to go about taking a test, you have done all you can.
