Hi,
What is the best way to read between the lines?
I found it difficult because I think my english is not good. I have tried some
practice labs and found the wordings are definitly misleading. Sometimes I
think they are asking X but actually they want Y. If the questions are pharsed
like the real lab, I may first need to study english :>
So, anyone want to help me?
Jeff

I would say that this is part of a good strategy. Having a
study partner
and developing scenarios and questions can help here. The
strategic part
is, from the wording of the question, determining what the
exam writer
is asking for, specifically. Practice in developing
scenario questions
that you run by another person (or this list) will help to
get you "inside
the head" of an exam writer.
