Some times a student might get stuck on a short answer question. Since the question is more open-ended, it is easier to forget the answer. There are still some strategies that a student can use the answer the questions though.

  1. Always rephrase the question in the answer.
  2. Keep the answer short and to the point. Normally 1-3 sentences should be enough to answer the question.
  3. Write in full sentences.
  4. Check your spelling and grammar.
  5. If it is a math question, remember to show all of your work.
