Facts:

- Answers to multiple choice questions are in alphabetical order... so do not try to discover any logic in the sequence!

- You will need a dictionary! Some questions are made extra 
  difficult to force you to look up words. 

Top 3 tips:

1. Read everything, and base your answer on what's in the text!)
2. Underline, Highlight,  cross out,  etc. to indicate what to 
    look for or to find specific information
3. Approach multiple choice questions as if they are open 
   questions. Come up with your own answer first and then 
   choose the one that best fits it. 

Common mistakes 

• Which of the following is true according to paragraph 5 & 6?  Student answers with  something that is mentioned in paragraph 4. 
• Open questions = Dutch, do not answer in English!! Citation questions = English as you need to cite from the text. See question 23 & 24 tekst 9
