Revision Exercises in German [antikvár]

EDITOR'S PREFACE The examiners of most university Boards, R.S.A., etc., whilst acknowledging that the work of manv candidates is of a high standard, find that too many of the candidates entered are ill prepared. Although somé examiners maintain that lack of good teaching may contribute towards this, nevertheless, they do feel that all candidates would benefit from instruction in the techniques of examination. This applies, not only in the case of external examinees studying a subject at part-time evening or day-release classes, but alsó to those full-time students who are perhaps faced with too many subjects and too little time in which to study them fully. Each of the books in this series contains instructions to candidates which must be read carefully, memorized, and acted upon in examinations. However, technique by itself will not pass examinations. The major purpose of this series, then, is to test the basic knowledge of candidates by the use of various forms of exercise. Since many candidates fail to sustain an argument or to develop a point, the authors have provided selected model answers as a guide but only as a guide. Each of the books in the series follows a similar generál pattern of arrangement, but, inevitably, the wide differences in the requirements of the various subjects have necessi-tated incertain of these subjects somé deviation from this planned lay-out: questions re-quiring a one-word answer; questions demanding sentence or paragraph answers; questions needing a full O-level answer. Nevertheless, a student having used one book in the series would soon be familiar with any other. I hope the series will be of value to teachers and to pupils in full-time instruction, to those who teach and to those who learn in evening and day-release classes, and, finally, to those students who are unable to receive any formai instruction.
