When answering questions in a science exam, it is important to interpret the question carefully. Question words are key and must always be adhered to, yet many students often overlook them and therefore answer questions incorrectly. You may know a lot of information about the subject area, but if you misinterpret the question words, your answer could be completely irrelevant and score poorly. Key words will help you to determine how to structure your answer.
