The exam is still multiple choice where there are several options to select from. However, the question format has changed. Previously some questions would be formatted where students were required to answer 4 questions based upon a long passage. This meant that any misinterpretations or confusions with the text could affect your performance out of 4. The test “stem” for these questions was longer meaning more time was required to read and interpret the passage before answering multiple related questions. For some questions there may have been a variable number of options. The answer options have now been standardised across all questions. From 2020 each question will have 5 answer options, only one of these will be correct. The other four statements are designed to be misleading. The answers for problem-based questions may differ by multiples of 10. Make sure you double check your unit conversions and use rough estimation to check the value of your answer is as similar to what would be predicted. In other scenarios more precise calculations may be required where the answers are more similar. The answers for critical thinking section may differ by only one word. The word form may differ for example one statement my contain a superlative compared to the comparative form in another statement. Comparative words such as less than, taller, lower than compared one thing to the rest of the group whereas extreme superlatives such as least and tallest demonstrate greater comparison between entities.
