Answer all questions in order without skipping around. Identify doubtful answers by marking in the margin and recheck these if time permits, but after all questions have been answered. Be cautious about changing your answers to multiple choice and true-false questions without a good reason. Your first choice is more likely to be correct than are subsequent choices. Be alert for modifying or limiting phrases inserted into the sentence.
Instructors often use inserted names, dates, places, and other items to make a statement inaccurate.
Watch for multiple ideas or concepts within the same statement. All parts of a statement must be true or the entire statement is false. On multiple choice questions, be alert for grammatical inconsistencies between the question stem and the answer choices. A choice is almost always wrong if it and the stem do no make a grammatically correct sentence. On multiple choice questions, the correct choice is often one of the middle choices.
