# Command Terms in eAssessment Questions (MYP)

Whether you are completing eAssessments at the end of MYP Year 5 or planning final exams in general, including eAssessment style questions is another practical way of showing students how command terms can assist in responding to a variety of questions. 

The MYP eAssessments use command terms explicitly to prompt student responses and knowing these terms is essential for student success. 

Below are example eAssessment questions from Individuals and Societies with the command terms highlighted in purple. Think about using these styles of questions on your own tests, quizzes, and exams.
