#42: Trick Question
Taking tests isn’t always about testing how well you’ve learned the material. Sometimes, the tests are there to help you learn how to take a test. Through many years of schooling, teachers frequently advise on best test-taking techniques. This teacher was testing how well they listened to some of that advice.
One essential tip teachers try to instill in students is to read through any exam completely before answering even one question. Had this class heeded this bit of important guidance, they would have saved themselves a lot of time, as well as their grade (and some embarrassment). We guarantee they will never forget that lesson again.
