Strategic Guessing and Elimination

Smart Guessing on Tough Questions

Sometimes the answer isn't obvious—don't panic! Use logical reasoning and eliminate clearly wrong choices to improve your odds. Guess strategically rather than randomly.

  • Cross out answers that contradict the data
  • Focus on the most likely options, especially when time is short
  • Remember, no penalty for guessing, so always answer every question

Examples

  • Eliminating statement choices that are unsupported by the table data.

  • Making an educated guess between two remaining options after discarding the rest.
