This chapter presents two practice tests with a mix of question types (e.g. multiple choice or ranking), content (e.g. domain- tested), and styles (e.g. patient, colleague, or personal). Each includes 30 questions and broadly reflects the type of questions likely to be asked in the SJT. To make the most of this test, you should complete it in one sitting within an hour before checking your answers. When checking your answers to ranking questions, remember that credit is still given for ‘near misses’ and so there is no need to hit the ‘correct’ sequence every time. The practice test answers are not accompanied by detailed explanations. For this reason, it would be preferable to complete all the questions in Section 2 before attempting the test. To replicate the SJT as closely as possible, you should ideally complete these questions within an hour under formal examination conditions. Once you have attempted all the questions, turn to to check your answers. It is difficult to interpret your final score, as your rank will depend entirely on how well your colleagues (and every other medical student in the country) fare. If you are organized, you could arrange a study group to work through this book and/ or complete the practice test. Marking your answers as a group will give some indication as to your performance relative to others. It will also provide an opportunity to discuss the various options (including disagreement with our answers) and so gain a deeper understanding of the issues tested by the SJT.

The aim of this study is to determine the level of achievement of students participating in Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003 and PISA 2012 tests in Turkey according to questions in the mathematical literacy test. This study is a descriptive survey. Within the scope of the study, the mathematical literacy test items were classified as multiple-choice, complex multiple-choice and constructed response items according to the different question types. The ratio of correct and partially correct and incorrect response given to each question type has been determined. Findings show that the achievements of students differ according to different types of questions. While the question type with the highest success average in the PISA 2003 test was multiple-choice, students got the highest scores from complex multiple-choice questions in the PISA 2012 test. The questionnaire with the lowest success average was found to be complex multiple-choice questions in the PISA 2003 test while students got the lowest scores from constructed response items in the PISA 2012 test. According to the constructivist education approach effectuated in 2005-2006 academic year, it is expected to observe a rise in constructed response question type; however, findings of the study reveal that the success of constructed response questions is decreased according to the application years.

Purpose It is known that people who stutter (PWS) benefit from self-help experiences, such as attending support groups or conferences. However, limited research has been done to explore the listening of stuttering-related podcasts as a form of self-help for PWS. This study seeks to understand the reasons why PWS listen to stuttering-related podcasts and provide descriptions of their listening experiences. Method Thirty-three PWS who have listened to stuttering-related podcasts were recruited to participate in an online survey that included multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Responses were analyzed and grouped into descriptive themes. Results Participants reported listening to stuttering-related podcasts as a way to gain information and perspective. They also reported experiences that fit themes of empowerment and camaraderie, as a result of listening. Conclusions Stuttering-related podcasts seem to be a positive self-help tool for PWS. Stuttering support group leaders and/or speech-language pathologists may consider introducing their group members or clients who stutter to this type of audio-based self-help experience.

Two experiments investigated the information conveyed by intonation from speaker to listener. A multiple-choice test was devised to test the ability of 48 adults to recognize and label intonation when it was separated from all other meaning. Nine intonation contours whose labels were most agreed upon by adults were each matched with two English sentences (one with appropriate and one with inappropriate intonation and semantic content) to make a matching-test for children. The matching-test was tape-recorded and given to children in the first, third, and fifth grades (32 subjects in each grade). The first-grade children matched the intonations with significantly greater agreement than chance; but they agreed upon significantly fewer sentences than either the third or fifth graders. Some intonation contours were matched with significantly greater frequency than others. The performance of the girls was better than that of the boys on an impatient question and a simple command which indicates that there was a significant interaction between sex and intonation.
