How to use 考题
考题 refers to the questions on an exam or test paper, and it is often paired with words like 难 (difficult), 出 (to set), or 泄露 (to leak). Example: 今年的高考考题不太难。(Jīnnián de gāokǎo kǎotí bú tài nán.) This year's college entrance exam questions were not too hard.
考 (kǎo) means to test, as in 考试 (kǎoshì), and 题 (tí) means a question or topic, as in 问题 (wèntí). Put them together and you get a test question: 考题 (kǎotí).
Common mistake: Learners often use 问题 (wèntí) when they mean an exam question. 问题 is a general question or problem, while 考题 is specifically a question on a test. Also keep the third tone on 考 (kǎo) and the second tone on 题 (tí).
