Question types

• Meerkeuze vragen
• Beweringen & stellingen: Waar/niet waar of juist/onjuist
  

Meerkeuze

Good to know:

The answer of the question is ALWAYS in the text itself. Sometimes it's phrased differently so look out for that

Meerkeuze

Which strategy would you use with this question?

1. Thinking of my own answer and then checking if it's one of the answers
2. Dividing up the answers and seeing which fits the text the best

Now give your answer

Stellingen/beweringen

Often, a statement question consists of multiple statements that you have to mark as true or false / correct or wrong / etc. 

It's also possible that you have to find the statement in the text in different words. This is really a multiple choice question, because you have to pick between paragraphs. 

 

Work on the questions quietly
