It's pretty common for a test in the sciences or social sciences to contain several new vocabulary terms for you to identify. To get full credit when you answer this type of question, you must do two things. You must define the term, but you must also explain its significance.
Too often I see students leaving out the second step--and that means they end up with half credit on those questions.
When you study terms for the next test in social studies or science class, just remember that it's probably not enough to know the definition of your new vocabulary words. You must also know how each term relates to other new words, or how the term fits into bigger concepts.
