How to answer exam questions

If you were to ask an examiner the most common reason why some students do poorly on exams, it

is likely that he/she would say that “students just don’t answer the question”. While there are

different ways of ‘not answering the question’, it is more often the case that students misinterpret the

command words in the exam questions. Every exam question will use one or more command words.

These command words tell you what the examiner is asking you to do and give you guidance on how

you should answer the question. If the question has two command words, this means that you are

being asked to do two specific things; if you only respond to one command word then you would not

be awarded full marks as the marks available would have been split between the two things that are

required in order to answer it.

Below is a list of command words along with the approach that you should take when answering

exam questions that use these words. Having a good understanding of how to answer questions

based on the command word will certainly help you to avoid falling into the trap of not answering the

question.
