True/False is a Science

I’m pretty for sure that the True/False portion of any test is enough to give every student a nervous shudder. There is tooooo much chance involved. And right now I know you are saying, “No way, True/False is easy. There’s a fifty-fifty chance that the answer is going to be right.” To those of you who thought that, you’re dumb. The True/False portion is when teachers like to get creative. There is a science behind True/False questions. The statement is only true if EVERY SINGLE DETAIL IS TRUE. Otherwise, the statement is false. Now I know teachers like to say that they don’t try to trick you, but they lie. Seriously, they do, and I’m not trying to offend any teachers (Mrs. Limes, you are great…see what I did there. Haha). I reread True/False statements about six hundred times just to make sure I get everything I can out of the sentence(s). These sections on tests tend to lure students into a false sense of security, and they might go ahead and mark true even though part of the statement is in fact false (which makes the whole statement false). See it’s a science; one tiny little word can make the whole thing false. My advice: read it multiple times, and if you start marking a bunch of them as true….start freaking out (you probably have reason to). Also, pay attention to every, all, and almost; those are the kicker words.
