Bombed Rita's Communications Management practice test

Submitted by Ahmad1111 on Tue, 04/30/2013 - 17:35

 Hey guys,

I've been using Rita's book for studying, and I went through the whole book once. Now I went back to do the practice tests at the end of each chapter, and was doing mostly well.. Usually 70%-80%.. with a couple chapters in the high 60s. But when I reached chapter 10, Communications Management, I got 50%. 

What frustrates me, however, is that when I reviewed the solutions I didn't feel there was much to learn. Many of the questions had arguably multiple correct choices. Sometimes the question looks for a root problem to be fixed, sometimes the question looks for an immediate solution. I didn't feel there is logical consistency that I can follow.

Did anyone else have a similar experience with this chapter? Is it an inherint issue with this chapter being highly subjective maybe? Or are the questions in Rita are bad for this chapter? 

I will surely read the chapter again and try to strengthen my understanding, but wanted to hear other thoughts on the chapter and if there are any tips on how to succeed in it.

Thanks guys.

Communication EOC questions are very subjective. I scored 63% there (19/30), when I was doing pretty good in the other readings!

Don't worry about it. I think a lot of people would experience the same in Communications. Like you, I scored pretty well in the other chapters but bombed Communications. Having said that, 50% is still a low score. You should've gotten at least 65-70%. Reading the topic once again will definitely help you achieve a better score. Make sure you review each question you got wrong and revisit the requisite concept to fill your knowledge gap.
