Hello everybody,

As I am a teacher at a university in China, exams are often very much on my mind.  I decided I want to get my terminology straight.  Below is a mostly complete list of what I have thought of so far.  I would appreciate it if someone could kindly tell me how to best translate the last three points, and of course point out if any of my translations are wrong.  Also, if anyone wants to add to the list or has related questions, please comment away.

Thanks
