- Read the stem (question) with each possible answer.
- Keep in mind that words like not, false and incorrect can completely
change the meaning of the statement.
- When you decide an answer is not correct, draw a line through it.
- Do not change your first answer unless you are sure you made the wrong
choice.

- Guessing gives you a fifty-fifty chance.
- No amount of guessing can replace knowledge of the answer.
- Nevertheless, you should be aware of strategies to use if you are not
sure.
- While these strategies won’t apply every time, they will make you aware

- Assume statements are true unless you know they are false (test makers
generally include more true than false questions).
- If any part of the statement is false, then the whole statement is false
(partial truth).
- T/F statements that tend to give reasons tend to be false.
- A negative word or prefix does not necessarily make the statement false.
