RTQ UTQ ATQ Mr B’s reminder for questions

RTQ ® Read ® You The Question have to start by carefully reading the question. Not the question you think it is, but the question it is!

UTQ ® Understand ® Now The Question that you have carefully read the question, you have to figure out exactly what the question is asking! ® Is there more than one part to the question? What does the second (third, fourth…) part ask?

ATQ ® Answer The Question ® Understanding what the question (and any parts it may have) is asking, you can now begin to answer it. Look for appropriate information in the book, your notes, online or other books. You only need to answer the question(s) that are asked - paragraphs around the answer aren’t needed!

ATQ ® Answer ® Read the Question - Part 2 your answer - is it answering the question that was asked? Is it only answering part of the question? Is it answered well? ® If it isn’t right, fix it!
