How to deal with/study for confusing wording?

College Life

<p>I’m taking Intro to Biology 2 this semester and I understand the concepts really well when I’m studying my notes, but when I get to the practice tests or exams I do poorly. Not because of not knowing the material, but because the questions are so long and worded so confusingly that I usually misread and mistake what the question is asking. </p>

<p>Is there anything that can help with this, other than just reading it very slowly? Last exam, I exhausted all the practice tests and really studied how he worded questions and still did poorly, despite knowing the material so well.</p>

<p>Go to the TA and ask how to break the question down into understandable parts so you can answer it.
If the TA can’t help go to the prof and ask for help.</p>

<p>There is no TA. -.- But I will think about taking it up in office hours with him.</p>
