Well lets suppose that was my true purpose then what?
That is, how would I go about tailoring a sentence of what I need to know from the reading material?

Rather look at, why do you want to know what you need to know to pass the exam?
OK , I can understand where your coming from but my main problem lies in how to word the sentence . If you could offer me a simple example that would be a help.

[btw, on the I vs "them" issue: although I was trying to avoid that cliche, to clarify I am not doing this for anybody but myself- I would not give an "other" that much power--so you may ignore that part, but the rest stands to reason ( I do thrive on competition)]
