How to use 试题

试题 refers to the questions on an exam, either one question or the whole set. It often appears with words like 考试 (kǎoshì) or with a subject in front. Example: 这次考试的试题很难。(Zhè cì kǎoshì de shìtí hěn nán.) The questions on this exam were very hard.

试 (shì) means to try or test, and 题 (tí) means a question or topic, as in 问题 (wèntí). Put them together and a 试题 is a question you are tested on.

Common mistake: Learners often use 试题 for any question, but it only means a test or exam question. For an ordinary question you ask someone, use 问题 (wèntí). Also keep the fourth tone on 试 (shì) and the second tone on 题 (tí).
