Level 1 · Warm-up

1 Which stem produces a Level 1 (recall) question?
Show worked solution
"Define…" — recall. The others are analysis, application and evaluation.
2 The Cornell conversion method takes about how long?
Show worked solution
5 minutes — cover the notes column, answer the question column, check.

Level 2 · Core

3 Your self-made test uses application questions taken straight from the textbook's worked examples. What is the problem?
Show worked solution
They become recall in disguise — you retrieve the remembered answer instead of applying the concept.
4 Which question commits the "several questions in one" fault?
Show worked solution
The long one bundles four questions. Split it — otherwise a wrong answer tells you nothing about where the gap is.

Level 3 · Challenge

5 A student's practice scores are always excellent but exam scores are poor. Their self-made tests are entirely "define" and "list" questions. What is the fix?
Show worked solution
Their practice sits at Level 1 while the exam sits at Levels 2–3. Balanced mix: 2-3 / 3-4 / 2-3 / 1-2.
6 Why does the lesson say writing questions is itself powerful study?
Show worked solution
You must think like the examiner: judging importance, designing distractors, defining a complete answer. The writing is the studying.
