A lot of students can remember the material but end up running into trouble because they do not really know how to answer short-answer questions on the exam.  Here are a list of action words to look out for hidden in the question and how to answer them:

  • Describe: This means to tell or depict in writing.
  • List: List items or facts – no explanations required.
  • Compare: Indicate the characteristics of 2 or more items and point out their differences and similarities
  • Contrast: Point out the differences.
  • Define: State the meaning – be clear and concise!
  • Explain: Give an explanation, DO NOT simply define the terms.
  • Identify: State items or fact and GIVE EXAMPLES.
  • Illustrate: Give examples that make the concept clear to the examiner.
  • Justify: Give a good reason for your decisions/conclusions.

Look out for these words and you’ll be well on your way to passing the CAIB exams.  If you need some additional help, take a look at our CAIB courses online.
