Let's take a look at your reading tests

- Open vragen = in het Nederlands antwoorden. 

- Zorg dat je één antwoord opschrijft (check altijd even na afloop of je niet twee antwoorden hebt genoteerd. Voorbeeld vraag 13: noteer het nummer van de juiste conclusie en de letter van het bijpassende ondersteunende citaat. Velen schreven beiden conclusies op + koppelden dit aan de citaten. 

- vraag 26: "een antwoord met de volgende strekking: kennis over hoe menselijk gedrag tot stand komt/bepaald wordt door kennis over fysiologische processen in de hersenen."
