Breaking Down Complex Questions

Tackle Tricky Questions Step by Step

When faced with a challenging question, break it into smaller parts. Identify what each part is asking, eliminate obviously wrong answers, and use logic and process of elimination to narrow down your choices. This approach builds confidence and accuracy.

Steps

  • Underline key terms in the question
  • Rule out answers that don't fit
  • Work through each option before picking your answer

Examples

  • Highlight keywords in a genetics scenario to spot which process is being described.

  • Cross out two clearly wrong answers before choosing between the last two.
