Following are some strategies for each type.

Multiple choice

• eliminate obviously incorrect answers
• read all the choices
• read the question carefully
• often the longest answer is the correct one
• be careful not to overlook details
• guess if you don't know

True-False

• be aware of the wording. Words such as 'always' and 'none' change the answer from wording like 'often' and 'some'
• for something to be true all of it must be; read it carefully
• guess the answer if you don't know, its 50/50

Short answer

• be to the point and concise
• avoid over answering the question
• if unsure, use point form to record all the facts you know about the area in question

Matching answers

• always read all the answers column first to be aware of the possible answers
• be aware that some answers may be 'more right' than others; don't rush
• eliminate answers that you believe are wrong
• select the most appropriate from the remaining answers
• guess if you don't know.

Filing in the gap

• read and re- read the question serval times
• if you studied using repetition the answer may be prompt yoy
• look carefully at the wording.> a verb will signify whether the answer is singular or plural.> if the letter before is an 'a' then the answer begins with a consonant> if the word before is an'an' then the answer must begin with a vowel
• if unsure recite the material to yourself, it may spark an idea

Essay

• carefully plan your time
• do an outline of key facts and ideas, which in point form will organise your thoughts in a logical sequence
• understand exactly whay you are being asked to do
• be aware of exam jargon and terminology
• always use sentences
• tie you thoughts together with linking phrasing such as 'on account of this'
• don't be verbose; be concise and to the point
• open the essay be restating the question in the first sentence
• always include ideas and points that your teacher has stressed/emphasized in class
• always include a logical conclusion reiterating key points
• write legibly, neatly and leave adequate margins

Ensure that you ask your teachers

• the types of questions on the exam

You don't answer anything. You leave the page blank. This, my friend, is the manner through which you gain 50% of the marks. Good luck, Standard English people.
