Dear Science Teachers

Please do not put true/false statements in your tests. A statement is never 100% true, and there's no opportunity to explain why we answered the way we did. I can't read your mind and figure out whether or not you meant "usually" or "always"

So if I score far lower then I should have on my biology test, this is why.

I hate it when they ask you to "explain why it is false" and the only way to explain that it's false is to say that it is false.

Protip: If the statement is "usually" true, then mark it false. Any statement not completely true is false. Next time, you have grounds to argue on. If they meant "usually" but didn't write it, that's not your problem.

But if a statement is never 100% true, then the statement that is "A Statement is Never 100% True" causes problems. Becuase if that statement is to be correct then it must be 100% true. But if isn't always the case then.....well...

:D

"This statement is false."

Save yourself some breath next time.

But what if you've been taught that the statement is true but know by being a quasi-master in the subject that it's not ENTIRELY true and has some exceptions? AAAAAAAAAH

And also who puts questions about a duck on their exam

You're no fun Kit.

Also I would suggest that a biologist does.
