  It’s a trick I learnt from copyediting. It helps with typos spellcheck doesn’t pick up. For exam questions it would be good to make sure you don’t miss important modifiers like ‘not’ in a question

    So the question, “What is that?”, I’d read as, “That is what”?

      You’ve got to read the question forwards again one last time before answering

        Sounds like a plan! My mum would always say to read the question three times and this puts a spin on it :)
