UNIV 101 FINAL QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS WITH FULL SOLUTIONS,
GUARANTEED A+, UPDATED 2026
Q: What do we call a physical "trigger," like a string on a finger, that helps us
recall a specific memory?
A: This is a classic example of a retrieval cue. It acts as a mental hook that helps
you pull information out of your long-term memory when you see or feel the
reminder.
Q: What is the study technique where you speak the facts out loud without
checking your notes?
A: This is known as recitation. It is a powerful form of active recall that forces
your brain to reconstruct the information, making it much more likely to stick
during an actual exam.
Q: What are some common "test-wise" shortcuts used when you aren't 100%
sure of the answer?
A: Being "test-wise" means looking for patterns in the way questions are written.
Common strategies (often grouped as "all of the above") include:
Choosing the longest or most detailed option.
Selecting answers that include qualifying words (like "usually" or
"generally") rather than absolutes.
Leaning toward a middle answer rather than the very first or last option.
Q: What is one approach that will almost always hurt your grade on an essay
question?
A: You should never be vague in your responses. Instructors look for specific
evidence, clear terminology, and direct answers. Providing general or "fluffy" filler
content is usually a sign that the student doesn't know the material.
