Multiple Choice - HOWTOThe first diet exam for databases is often a Multiple Choice exam paper. The second diet (the resit paper) is more usually a written paper. However, be prepared for either multiple choice or a written paper. It should not affect your study method, and if it does you are doing something wrong.Here are a couple of useful guides to a successful multiple-choice exam.

1. Look at each question in turn.2. Score out answers on the question sheet which are

obviously wrong.3. Do not be afraid of going onto the next question if no

single correct answer can be selected immediately.4. Read each question CAREFULLY. Are you selecting a TRUE

answer or a FALSE answer from the options?5. Try not to revisit answers before attempting all the other

questions.
