Study Notes
Test Hack Techniques
- Reading Backwards: Reading the questions first helps you know what to expect in the text, highlight answers as you discover them, and conserve brain power.
- Eliminate the GOOFBALL, IMPOSTER, and locate the CHICKEN DINNER: In multiple choice questions, identify and eliminate the silly and incorrect answer (GOOFBALL), the almost correct answer with a trick (IMPOSTER), and the most likely right answer, the CHICKEN DINNER.
- Watch for EXTREMES: Be wary of answers containing extreme words like "always", "never", "most", or "none" as they are often incorrect.
- Fill in the blank: Read the question four times and try each answer in the blank, choosing the option that sounds the best.
- Red Flag Alert: Questions asking for the "most likely" or "best answer" may have two seemingly correct answers. Approach with caution.
- "According to the text" or "In paragraph 3": When questions ask for information from a specific part of the text, go back and read the indicated section to find the answer.
- Trust Your Gut: It's okay to be wrong. Overthinking can hinder performance. Don't be afraid to guess on tests that don't penalize incorrect answers.
