For most people "to pass the test" is not a good enough reason. What are you going to do with it once you passed the test?

And yes, even if the answer is, to pass the test it is a good idea to think of that before you start activating.

Your scratch of information doesn't work for me because I don't get what your purpose is. What's the test about? What are you being tested on and what do you need to know in order to past the unidentified test you're asking about.

What's lacking for me is your real purpose. With out a purpose I'm not remotely interested in the topic.

Quote:

the type of questions I am usually asked in exam-

1. Describe any one of the ground tissues in detail.
2. Write a note on sclerenchyma cells.
3. Describe two types of sclerenchyma in brief.


Now that's ... Sweet.

My questions for the author

[my purpose to describe well enough to pass the test]

What are the details of the ground tissue? {I'd be mapping and drawing them as well.

How could I summarise [note] this?

Are there more than two types... What two would the instructor preferred compare? How does the author compare them.

Now I start activating with those questions in mind.

If you know what your instructor is going to ask you in your test you have your foundation for activation questions.
