Read Twice Answer Once

Read each question twice and be certain you understand what is being asked.  Many questions are answered incorrectly simply because they were read incorrectly.

 

Read Them All

Read all four answers before choosing your answer.  If the first choice looks like the correct choice continue reading because a better choice may follow. Sometimes you encounter a question that seems to have two correct answers, however, one will always be better than the other.  Choose the best answer.

 

Answer Them All

Do not leave any questions blank.  Answer all questions.

 

Scrap It

Immediately use the scrap paper that will be provided to you.  Any information you're having trouble remembering immediately jot down on the scrap paper before beginning the exam.  This will relieve the additional pressure of continuing to remember difficult material.

 

Keep It Moving

Don't spend too much time on any one question. If you don't know the answer mark it for review and go back to it later.

 

Be Alert

A later question sometimes provides valuable information to answer and earlier question.  Be on the lookout for questions containing such information.

 

Must Never Except Not Incorrect

Watch for keywords like must, never, except, not, incorrect.   Missing these words can totally change the focus of the question and cause you to answer it incorrectly.

 

Guess

When you absolutely do not know what answer to choose narrow it down to your two best options. Re-read the question looking for clues to lead you to the correct answer.  If you're still unsure, guess.

 

Ever Ready

Equip your calculator with fresh batteries or bring extra batteries just in case.
