Few Questions normally use words: not , except, least, false and these words will be bold but not all the time ,clearly read these questions that ask for exception because they may cause to confuse the candidates
Mark the closest answer in your mind
After reading the question, make a prediction about the right answer before reading the choices it will help you not to be mislead while reading the choices
If you are sure about the correct answer still read all the options it will lesson the chances f answering incorrectly
Go through all answer choices
Most of the time choices of question may lead to argument to be correct,but always remember that you have to answer the option which best suite the question’s requirement
Sometimes choices give a clue ,what the question is about,and if you get confused and all of the options seem incorrect reread the question just to ensure main requirement is not missed out
Try to attempt all of the questions
If your answer is incorrect you will not lose points so, always try to attempt all of the questions, even if you don’t know the right answer because there is almost 25% chance you may answer correctly
