i think you probably need to give a little more explanation.
i'm not sure i understand what you're after.
why would you need a written exam for badminton?
you mean for the rules and such?

Agreed, we definitely need more information on what you're looking for. If you told me, I think I could create something like that for you.

I'd suggest questions on rules and then maybe some questions on why you should do certain things when playing shots. A couple of questions on grips would be good to test too.

red_dragon, in the mathcing type, it's hard to differentiate the high clear (defensive) and high singles serve. Oh man!!! After years and years of playing badminton, I thought I'd be able to ace the test :confused:

Many such tests only serve to reveal the ignorance of the person setting the test. :p

Here's another one I found online: http://share1.esd105.wednet.edu/hausskeg/BadmintonTest.htm


6 When Smashing the birdie at your opponent, you should aim for _______________

Clearly they have an answer in mind from the class; but it seems unreasonable to ask such a simplistic question. There is no right answer.


Aim for the opponent.
Aim for the middle.
Aim for the sidelines.


Or does the question really mean, "when smashing at your opponent"? In which case, there are still more options:


Aim for the racket hip.
Aim for the racket shoulder.
If he's prepared for one side (forehand or backhand), aim for the other.
Aim for the side that makes cross-court replies difficult (if he's the straight defender).
Aim for the side that makes straight replies difficult (if he's the cross-court defender).
Aim for his face, because he's too close to the net. :D


It all depends on the situation. So if you're setting a test, I suggest you make sure you know what you're talking about! ;) Unless you have a sophisticated understanding of the sport, it's probably best to limit your questions to matters of rules and basic naming conventions ("What is a smash?"), rather than attempt to define tactics or technique.

You could list all of those options and add: choose whichever shot you think has the highest probability of winning you the rally.

Anyhow, I don't see the point of written examinations for someone learning how to play badminton. You learn to play on the court, not in the classroom.

It's not that hard. Take a look again; perhaps pay particular attention to the position on court where the shuttle is struck (the start of the line) and also the trajectory, they are similar but certainly not the same.

If you really want to find the right answer, PM me what you think it is and I'll PM you with whether you are right or not.

You're right Danstevens. I didn't look at where the shuttle was struck. Thanks :o
