Process of elimination

It works best for Writing and CR, useless IMO in math. For CR passages, when you get to a question, before even thinking of the choices and choosing one, read each one and put an X on the ones you KNOW can’t be true. You will ALWAYS find 2 downright ■■■■■■■■ choices that don’t make any sense and OFTEN 3. So you will almost always be left with only 2-3 choices to decide between. Next, look for keywords to eliminate more choices. If the line numbers listed for instance in the question talk about how many people are scared and intrigued by the Mayan Calendar, choices dealing with " Mayan culture" would be eliminated off the bat. This is a crude example, but you probably will get the gist of what I am saying and have seen something similar on practice tests I assume. Now you will be left with 2 answers, and only one if you are lucky! At this point, it is basically how well you understand the material and how good you are at that section…I can’t tell you the answer, your intelligence and knowledge must find it in a very small pool of choices you now have!
