Question Solving Strategies
For Multiple Choice
- • Read the question carefully first
- • Try to predict the answer before looking at options
- • Eliminate obviously wrong answers first
- • Don't second-guess your first instinct
- • Don't leave any question unanswered
For True/False
- • Watch for absolute words (always, never, every)
- • Statements with absolutes are often false
- • If part of the statement is false, the whole is false
- • Don't overthink - go with your first choice
