What do sample test questions provide for students?

Sample test questions serve the purpose of giving students illustrative examples that are not fully representative of the actual test. These examples help students become familiar with the format, types of questions, and subject matter they may encounter on the actual exam. While the sample questions can provide valuable practice and insight into how the questions are structured, they do not guarantee that the same questions will appear on future tests. Instead, the intent is to guide students in understanding the testing material and preparing for a variety of potential exam questions.

This approach allows students to recognize patterns and themes in the types of questions asked and to develop strategies for answering different kinds of questions. It can also enhance their confidence and decrease test anxiety, as they become accustomed to the test format and expectations.
