THE ESSAY TEST

Every student who has reached the college level is quite familiar with the process of taking tests. Many tests are short-answer tests; they ask students to respond by filling in blanks, matching, choosing correct terms, or writing words or phrases. The second major type of test is the essay test, on which students are asked to respond to ques­tions by writing one or more paragraphs. These tests require that stu­dents be able to write effectively about the material they have learned. To write effectively on an essay test the student must remember &at the purpose of the essay test answer differs from the purpose of $e essay. The essay develops an argument; it presents the student's ideas about a subject and explains why the student has that position on фе subject: An essay test answer, on the other hand, is designed to demonstrate how much a student knows about a particular subject. An essay test answer is an attempt by the student to show that he or she grasps the ideas of other people.

The length and the form of an effective essay test answer will be determined by the individual question. Some answers will require only one paragraph; others will need several paragraphs. Whatever the case, every essay test taker begins to answer by turning the question into a statement:

Question: What are two major factors influencing the development of personality?

Immediate Answer: The two major factors influencing personality development are heredity and environment.

An immediate answer serves the same function as a topic sentence in a paragraph or a thesis statement in an essay. The rest of the answer will be sentences or perhaps paragraphs adding explanatory detail.

It is important for all beginning college writers to learn to write an effective essay test answer. No student can get credit for information that she knows if she can't demonstrate that she knows it.
