I have posted some sample short-answer exam questions on Vista in the “Exam Preparation” folder for your review and practice. Each question is followed by a number of hints on the best way to answer, based on the content and wording of each question. At the very least, I highly recommend reviewing how points are awarded for short answer questions.

Remember, point-form answers are just fine. If you like to write in full sentences and paragraphs, then go for it. But if you’re faster with bullet points, that’s OK too. Just make sure that your message is clear, however you choose to format your responses.
