questions with the Introduction section on study skills having 148 multiple choice questions,
Appendix 1 on behavioral statistics having 216 multiple choice, and Appendix 2 entitled “Life
After School” having 233 multiple choice. All chapters including the study skills, Appendix 1,
and Appendix 2 also have 30 true-false, 30 completion and 10 essay questions.
Features
The following information is provided below each question in the test bank: Answer (ANS),
suggested point value (PTS), the difficulty level of the question (DIF), the textbook reference
(REF), the objective number (OBJ), and the cognitive level of the question (KEY). The difficulty
level for each question is designated as easy, moderate, or difficult, while the cognitive level of
each question is identified as fact, concept, or application. The reference indicates the major
chapter heading under which the contents of a question may be found. Each test question is also
matched to a chapter objective. These chapter objectives were written by the test bank author so
they would match the Journey questions in the text and the key ideas found in the detailed
Chapter in Review at the end of each chapter. New questions added to this edition are identified
by *(New Question) under miscellaneous (MSC) in the question information found below each
question.Introduction: The Psychology of Studying-Reflective Learning
