BE AWARE that information relevant to one question is sometimes given away (and quite usable) in another test item. Remember, it is okay to steal information from the test itself!!!!!!!!!!

On items that have "all the above" as an answer option, if you know that at least TWO of the options are correct, you should choose "all of the above." If you are confident that one of the options is incorrect, you should eliminate this option and the "all the above option," and choose from the remaining options.

Options that represent broad, sweeping generalizations tend to be incorrect. You should look out for words such as, always, never, necessarily, only, must, completely and totally. These words create improbable assertions and are most likely the wrong choice. You know the clique, " never say never!"

In contrast, options that represent carefully and highly qualified statements tend to be correct. Words such as often, sometimes, perhaps, many and generally tend to show up in well-qualified statements.
