What is the target audience for Level 2 difficulty questions?

• A. Undergraduate to early graduate students
• B. Late graduate students
• C. High school teachers
• D. General audience

Answer: (A)

Choosing Level 2 questions means designing material that assumes students have a solid foundation from introductory study and are ready to apply concepts at a moderate depth. This level targets an audience that has completed basic coursework and is moving into more integrated thinking, data interpretation, and practical problem solving in entomology. That typically corresponds to undergraduate students and those early in graduate study, who are building disciplinary breadth and applying principles to real-world pest management scenarios.

Late graduate students usually seek more specialized, advanced, or research-focused content, which goes beyond Level 2. A general audience or high school teachers generally don’t have the preparation in entomology to handle mid-level material, so they aren’t the intended audience for these questions.
