Step 2: Use your gut feelings to make a quick guess. Unless you've been able to eliminate all the answer choices except one, you'll need to make a guess among the remaining answer choices. Rely on your gut feelings and, whatever you do, don't spend a lot of time agonizing over it. In a paper-and-pencil test (and some computerized tests) questions are in random order; thus, if you waste time on a difficult question early in the test, you may not get to an easy question at the end of the test. If you are taking a computer-adaptive test (like the GMAT), in which the next question you get depends on whether or not you got the last question correct, you can afford to spend a little more time thinking about your remaining answer choices to make sure you are selecting the best one. Look at this example of a multiple-choice question to see how the process of elimination works: 1. In the northern hemisphere, the day of the year with the longest time between sunrise and sunset occurs when the rays of the sun make a right angle with earth at the (a) North Pole (b) Equator (c) Tropic of Capricorn (d) Tropic of Cancer (e) Greenwich Meridian Maybe you know the answer is (d). If you only know it is the tropic of something, eliminate choices (a), (b), and (e) and make a quick guess between (c) and (d). However, if you understand the question but don't have
